Don Cheadle gives an entertaining performance in this moderate biopic of Petey Greene, the ex-convict turned radio talk-show host, whose motormouth style at the mic blasted the white man's hypocrisy about civil rights in 60s Washington. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Dewey Hughes, his manager, and Martin Sheen is the embattled president of the studio who can't handle Greene's radical energy. The movie is decent enough, but contains Greene's story in a sentimentalised career arc. But Cheadle and Ejiofor are watchable.
