Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, Marshall, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days – a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder.
This was a great story and very well acted by all parties involved. The problem is that even with that being said, the movie ends up just kind of being there and is easily forgettable. It's a shame because the three main actors continue to get bigger and bigger and this movie will surface years from now as a "remember when" type of movie.
I would recommend people check this out still. It really was a good movie. It will just be forgotten in the grand scheme of things.
