Morgan Freeman makes this movie.

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2010)

Morgan Freeman play Nelson Mandella in Clint Eastwood's Invictus. Any film that Clint Eastwood touches is gold. So was I surprised by how good this film was? No. But what did surprise me was that it doesn't make my top ten of the 2009.
I saw too many great movies in 2009. This one just didn't make my list. It wasn't far off though. It has a lot to enjoy about it. It's inspiring story, and for me, to name just one thing, it would be Morgan Freeman's performance. It was a given. Though in this film we don't get to hear him talk the way he usually does(cause his narrations are enchanting), him and Matt Damon do a terrific job.
Freeman plays Nelson Mandella, the President of South Africa. After he gets out of prison, he is elected President again. But South Africans aren't happy about it. Eventually, he ends up supporting a Rugby team, led by Matt Damon.
Eastwood has done some terrific films. Incitus isn't quite up there. Really, compared to Mystic River? But I loved this movie. It's very interesting, but the main thing that brings it together is Freeman's performance. Both Freeman and Eastwood are a terrific team. In short, Eastwood + Freeman = Gold or Eastwood = Gold.
