Touching Underdog Story

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2006)

I am definitely not a big football fan, but i love sport movies with a true background because professional sport sometimes writes the most inspiring and touching stories - and Invincible is definitely one of them (without being cheesy nor over dramatic)
Mark Wahlberg did a great job in portraying the football legend Vince Papale and Ericson Core, hey who would have thought that the director of "the fast and the furious" could create such a great underdog story movie? It doesn't matter whether you know anything about Vince Papale or football at all, its not important. What really matters is the background and motivation of Vince Papale and how hard he tries to become a rookie football player with being 30 years old.
Whoever likes Rocky will love this movie. It is a great underdog story that really puts a smile in your face after watching it.
