Great rugby and history movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2010)

It takes Americans to make the best ever movie about the great game of rugby. The grunting, the heaving, the sheer passion. The acting was brilliant particularly in the body language between the black and white bodyguards but the acting was great. The games were well explained. The threat of Jonah Lumo well explained. The final was a nail-biter for my friend who knows nothing of rugby. The final game dragged a bit. There were technical issues in the rugby simulation particularly when the ball failed to go 10 m from one kick off. I think Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman deserve their nominations but the cast acted all the way down the list. The music was not as inspirational as say "Cry Freedom".
