A Cinematic Homerun

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2013)

I went into this film expecting it to be very good, and I wasn't disappointed.
Chadwick Boseman played an excellent Jackie Robinson, not to mention the resemblance between them is crazy. It was like stepping back into the 1940s.
The racism in the movie was rather frustrating, and I found myself getting mad listening to how ignorant people were. It wasn't a bad quality to the movie though, because I mean that's pretty much what the movie is about.
I'm a huge fan of biographical movies if they are done right, and this one definitely was. I was also a huge fan of Nicole Beharie, who played Rachel "Ray" Robinson. She's gorgeous by the way. But besides that, her acting was great. Great movie.
