Top of His Game

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2010)

Clint Eastwood is one of the greatest directors in the history of film making. Invictus is another fantastic movie in the Eastwood resume. Invictus is not about Rugby, but about pulling a nation together with Rugby being the catalyst that helps to heal and unite South Africa. Morgan Freeman is perfectly cast as Nelson Mandela. Freeman is once more at the top of his game and brings heart and character to the performance. Matt Damon is very good as Francois Pienaar. Eastwood brings the best out of Damon and we see more of Damon's acting chops than we have seen in previous films. Invictus is a great film with wonderful direction and storytelling. Invictus is indicative of Clint Eastwood and highly recommended.
