Unity through sports

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2014)

The movie tell's the story elements very well with enough proportions indeed. It's about overcoming old hatreds in a post apartheid environment, and that subject is depicted very well in scenes and images, some are subtle enough while some are striking yet none reach the stage of being disturbing. It's also about sports, with the rugby parts depicted quite totally without having to be too technical about the sport it self. I like how Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman done their accents. Those give the more authentic feel to the characters. Yes it's not as good as other Eastwood movies such as Million Dollar Baby or Gran Torino, but still this movie was worth watching.
