Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2013)

42 was nothing short of superb. The acting was some of the best acting I've EVER seen. Chadwick Boseman who plays Jackie Robinson did a Phenomenal job playing Jackie. Harrison Fords role of Branch Rickey was equally superb.
The movie was so original and free from the cliché's that many movies suffer from now and days. The most pivotal statement in that movie takes place between Harrison Ford's character Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson played by Boseman. Harrison says "I'm not looking for someone who has the guts to fight back, I'm looking for someone who has the guts not to fight back". This statement alone, sums of the excellent acting, scripting, and emotional delivery of the film. This movie was supported by a talented cast who played their characters to a T, and really help bring this movie to the cusp of greatness. The emotions exhibited by Boseman's character was felt sorely by the viewer, especially if you are African American.
I don't want to give away many scenes of this incredible film, but it is one the best films I've seen in the movies, and that I have seen period. I admired the character of Harrison's character Branch, the strength and support of Robinson's wife played by Nicole Beharie, and the resolve of Lucas Black playing Pee Wee Reese. But most critical character who delivered a heroic performance was Boseman. Excellent film, excellent acting, excellent script, superb directing.
