One of the best films of 2009.

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2010)

Clint Eastward has done it again, His excellent direction & ability to create such perfect performances from his cast makes you overlook any possible imperfections in this script,
Anthony Parkham wrote the screenplay based on the book by John Carlin. This is supposedly a true story of a South African Rugby team winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup from a superior team.
It also involves the inspiring influence of the South African President Nelson Mandella.
The above plot description many not be enough by itself to see this. The main reason to seen INVICTUS is to watch 2 of the best characterizations & performances. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, are Nelson Mandella & Francois Piennaar .
I was not seeing 2 familiar actors, I was seeing Mandell & the Coach.
The Rugby scenes are very exciting It (to me) is a rougher sport than Soccor or American Football.
The film was made in South Africa in actual settings for some scenes.
The 133 minute running times goes fast,You will be absorbed by what you see.
Ratings: **** (out of 4) 98 points (out of 100) IMDb 10 (out of 10)
