Loved this film.

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2010)

It is correct that nobody could play Mandela other than Morgan Freeman! Not mentioned as often is the outstanding portrayal of Captain Francois Pinnear by Matt Damon. This is a supporting role, but truly one of the finest roles of his career.
I think it is time for supporting actor Kgorgorge to move into lead roles. He was absolutely captivating in his commitment to protecting Mandela. The roles played by all the others in supporting roles were precious and perfect, especially Brenda and Mary.In short, since it is a Clint Eastwood movie, it is perfectly cast, down to the sports/new announcer. The editing appears seamless. The aerial shots of the mountains and coastal areas of CapeTown serve to emphasize the isolation of this metropolitan area.
A favorite whether or not every detail is factually accurate.
