The story isn't much more than a hit parade of "Shut up, racist" moments -- Alan Tudyk's opposing manager just oozes with venomous talk -- but its blunt force is enough to get the job done.

3 stars out of 5 -- [W]ell-told...doing justice to Jackie Robinson...
Empire
Boseman and Ford are outstanding in their roles. Boseman captures Robinson's inner struggle, while Ford delivers his best performance in a while.

Rating: 4/5 --
In his most challenging role to date, Boseman's Robinson is suitably charismatic and earnest, giving us a human portrayal of an icon that's easy to get behind.

For all its wholesomely uplifting design, 42 makes Jackie Robinson's struggle against racism look every bit as brutal and scary as it was. -- Grade: B+

Rating: 9/10 --
Just go. That's really all I have to say. A Jackie Robinson biopic was long overdue and this is an A+ effort. It's a 9.

Product Description:
Brian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award. Christopher Meloni and Hamish Linklater co-star.
