Invictus, a pretty enjoyable sports film.

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2012)

Clint Eastwood delivers us an inspirational true story of South Africa's triumph during the 1995 World Cup. Led by the spirits of Nelson Mandela (Freeman), he inspires the young and unmotivated South African rugby team to try for the gold and make their country proud.
As you know, movies are bound to have flaws. My main thought of a flaw was Matt Damon's accent, it was not music to my eardrums. He performed well, but I just wasn't one for the voice. Also, some of their accents (like Damon's) were a complete nightmare and truly hard to understand at times. I liked how they focused on both a part of Mandela's political career and the rugby aspects of the film. It was a good movie, some scenes were great, and others I just couldn't help but get bored by.
Besides all of that, Morgan Freeman does not disappoint in his role and gives us his usual great cinema Godly performance.
With sports movies, you can rarely ever go wrong. Regardless of how much I don't like rugby, I did enjoy most aspects of the film; so it was pretty good as far as sports films go.
VERDICT: 75/100
