Uninteresting unless you like rugby or are South African

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2009)

Clint Eastwood has made a string of great movies this decade, but for me Invictus isn't one of them. I don't know anything rugby about nor do I care for it. I didn't know much about Nelson Mandela either, and after watching the movie I didn't learn much about him, as the movie isn't so much about Mandela than it is about rugby. Morgan Freeman is a good choice to play Mandela, but you can still feel he's acting as his accent isn't that genuine. Matt Damon is also in the movie, but his part is nothing significant. This time Eastwood isn't starring in his own film.
You can skip this one unless you like rugby or you're South African.
