• In-depth performances by De Niro and Gooding Jr. provide the oxygen for this extremely shipshape biopic.

• Passes muster as an old-style biopic with its heart in the right place. There won't be a dry eye in the house.

• It isn't about thrills and explosions, but about tenacity, and most of it takes place within our own imaginations.

• Just what Gooding needed to restart his stalled career.

• Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable.
