"42" a not-so heroic telling of an American hero's tale

When Jackie Robinson came into professional baseball in 1947, he broke the rules. "42," on the other hand, follows all of the rules. It delivers everything you expect from a sports biopic and everything you already knew walking in without adding much new life or perspective. The story is powerful, if not the storytelling.
