    I just came from an advanced screening of this move, it was definitely entertaining. I won't say too much about the movie since it isn't out yet but Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey stole the show in my opinion. He played that role perfectly

    Fixed the bolded and I cosign, the movie was basically Remember the Titans on the baseball field, not a lot stands out and the previews/trailor reveal too many of the highlights of the story. I wont post any spoilers but this is one I wouldnt rush out to see and I would give 5 maybe 5.5 out of 10.

    Sidenote, I was off work and caught a early showing and a bunch of white senior citizens were in there and I swear after the movie they were all looking at me clapping and trying to make small talk leaving the theater like they were apologizing for racism in the movie.....lol

    Awkward moment lol

    I feel you on the Remember the Titans analogy, I see what the director was trying to do with it. Ford's portrayal of Branch Rickey was great. He went all out to get things done and the way he delivered in some of the scenes were comedic

    What stands out to me is the Phillies game and the way Jackie was treated, but the end result was nice lol

    just watched last night. its the typical "whites werent so bad" "white savior" during segregation era film with some troubling scenes that alot of safe negroes wont want to talk about. but overall id say a pretty good movie and definitely worth a watch. it did have some honest outlooks and realistic situations being portrayed.
