Phil Gallo Variety 03/03/2019
Hoosier coach Knight's media profile has been so high for so long, his portrait is complete; Season on the Brink fails to build on that media-created persona. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 01/24/2018
A Season on the Brink is a movie on the brink, as it ploddingly follows Knight and his Hoosiers during the 1985-86 season. Go to Full Review John A. Nesbit ToxicUniverse.com 11/13/2002
2/5
Feinstein's source book provides sufficient detail to humanize the controversial coach and explain his philosophy, but ESPN goes for the cheap shot instead and doesn't even reach the rim. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/23/2012 Overly dramatic representation of an already overly dramatic man. See more 01/15/2012 Overly dramatic representation of an already overly dramatic man. See more 04/04/2011 Dennehy plays Bobby Knight.. I think he does a great job portraying him. Watch the R rated version. See more 10/12/2009 Not a bad film, it was good. I only watched it to see James Lafferty from One Tree Hill, but the film itself ended up being worth watching too, and not just for James. See more 02/24/2009 I remember when this came on ESPN. It was the beginning of their string of terrible "original movies" series. There wasn't a whole lot to it except for a lot of cursing and yelling. See more 03/30/2008 Dennehy's portrayal is spot-on!
