Great emotional Baseball biopic. 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2014)

Review: I quite enjoyed this true story about a the first black layer to hit the major leagues. We have seen this type of movie many times before, were a person does good against all the odds in sports, Rocky comes to mind, but this is a true story about a period which changed the whole of Baseball. Personally I don't no anything about Baseball and I can't see how the game is enjoyable, but it does have its audience and I'm sure that there are names that come up during the movie which people will recognise. As a black person, I did find some of the scenes quite offensive but that was how it was in the 1940's in America. All of the performances are believable and well acted, especially Harrison Ford who must have been out of his comfort zone.in all it's a movie that will touch the heart and make you feel emotional. Watchable!
Round-Up: This movie really does prove that Harrison Ford can't pull all audiences anymore. It's not his acting skills or his ability to pull out a good performance, it's the fact that his name doesn't really carry any clout anymore. He will always be a bankable actor, and I do think that his name on top of this movie made a massive difference, but Hollywood isn't going mad when he's starring in a movie anymore, which is a shame because I personally think that he's a great actor. Since the last Indiana Jones, I haven't seen him do anything extra ordinary but is always good to see him on the big screen. I haven't heard of the other actors in this movie so I can't really comment on there acting skills, but I'm sure that we will see the guy who played the leading role in something soon because he was a great choice by the director.
Budget: $40million Worldwide Gross: $95million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there sport biopics about a black baseball player trying to make a name for himself in the 1940's. 7/10
