42

Drama, True Story
4.5 stars
Good movie starring Chadwick Boseman as baseball great Jackie Robinson.  Harrison Ford co-stars as MLB executive Branch Rickey who decided it was time to integrate baseball to attract more fans and ultimately make more money.  Most films about athletic heroes tend to be sappy but this film only crossed that line once or twice; mostly, it’s just a really good baseball movie about racism and acceptance.
