Cool but i can't see it being how i envisioned it to be..

i really want a Jack Johnson biopic...a spike lee joint, yeah wishful fukkin thinking.

I will say it is not a biopic.They cover Jackie's first year in pro white baseball. And to be fair to the other poster, Branch Rickey is a very close second as far as 'star of the show'.

How was it

Thumbs up. The thing I like best about it is it really displayed why Jackie was great as a baseball player. They concentrate on his game as much as they do the racial/political stuff going on around him at the same time.
I'm a huge baseball fan and I think the movie is a good showcase not just for Jackie Robinson but for the game as well.

That's cool. Another thing that's cool is they use a lesser known talent to play Robinson, nothing against the more mainstream cats. We need better actors, and THEY need better roles.

Yeah the guy playing Jackie is good. He'll definitely get more work based off this.
