Review of 42 (2013) by Matthew E — 16 Sep 2013
It certainly starts better than it ends, and it would have been a much stronger film if they'd just tried to make a good solid film. Instead what we get is a decent portrayal of Robinson breaking the baseball color barrier with the loudest sappiest faux triumphant music of all time.
It's too bad because it's very clear that everyone involved poured their hearts into this production and it was ruined with crappy TV-style home-spun heart-felt bullshit victory music.
