Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. "42" tells the story of two men-the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey-whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking-ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.

New Trailer For 42
Review For 42
A square, uninventive, but detailed and stirring bio-pic devoted to the two years in an athlete's life that changed a nation.David Denby-New Yorker
"This is a competent but mostly unexceptional film about a most extraordinary man."
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
This story inspires and entertains with a vital chapter in this nation's history.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
The filmmaking is TV-movie-of-the-week dull and Robinson's ordeal is hammered home to the exclusion of virtually everything else in his life.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
"A kind and decent film, though it doesn't add to Robinson's legacy."
Laremy Legel-Film.com
[Boseman] captures, in a clenched jaw or a sidelong glance, a lifetime's worth of dearly attained dignity and barely contained rage.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
With overtones of "The Natural" and "Hoosiers" this is the best movie of 2013 so far.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Solid and heartfelt, '42' is less the story of Jackie Robinson than the story of how those around him reacted to the man who broke the color barrier for Major League baseball.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Boseman hits just the right notes as Robinson. He's not a saint. He's a man, with many of the same flaws all men have. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and he's not afraid to show them.
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes
The story is compelling. The acting is good and the historical period, including the old ball parks, are recreated very convincingly. The baseball scenes are well done.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
It manages to be something that inspirational biopics, in my experience, virtually never are: inspiring.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
This film reminds us that how we feel about our sports figures mirrors how we feel about our nation.
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
Competent but superficial historical tribute to baseball legend Jackie Robinson.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Helgeland's handling of the material is simply too by the book, giving us the milestone in place of the man.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
The baseball scenes are realistic, the acting is at the level of Lincoln, and the message is not overstated.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
It's not easy to steal home when you've got a halo over your head but Boseman somehow manages.
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
"42" is a glorious tale of staying strong and having perseverance in the face of hatred.
Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum
There should be a Lifetime Sports channel. 42 would be a good movie for it
Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net
Perhaps not a great movie, but definitely a good adaptation of a great American story.
Rebecca Cusey-Patheos
[Writer-director Brian] Helgeland shapes Jackie into a tested and proven American archetype: the strong, silent type.
Matthew Sorrento-Film International
It consists largely of white men saying vile, racist things to the saintly ballplayer, who restrains his anger (just) before hitting it out of the park, to triumphant music by Mark Isham.
Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News
The subject of this competent biopic is still overdue for a comprehensive, warts-and-all movie (after all, here was a black man who campaigned for Richard Nixon against John F. Kennedy), but for the time being, this one will pleasantly do.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
42's a compelling, uplifting story about two men who deserve to be remembered.
Rebecca Murray-About.com
"42" is a solid three-bagger of a movie. It is a fitting tribute to a pioneer who, simply because he wanted to play baseball, bore a burden unlike any one else in baseball.
Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
