42 | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

42 is a fine tribute to a man's ability to endure for the better off all and the insightful visionary who put it all in motion.

Chadwick Boseman has been around Hollywood for a few years, mostly in television, but this should be the role that allows the young actor to blossom.

Boseman delivers a strong performance, particularly during a scene where he endures a relentless string of N-word taunts. Boseman chose this scene for his audition piece, smashing a plastic wiffleball bat against a chair in the audition room.

Brian Helgeland depicts how agonizing the struggle is for any despised minority to get their foot in the door. 42 climaxes at the apex of baseball legend Jackie Robinson's first season in a Brooklyn Dodger uniform.

Director Brian Helgeland's "42" (2013) is a moving biopic about Jackie Robinson.
