FrankO.Dec 12, 200910Saw this film last night and reveled in its simplicity but also powerful message. Morgan Freeman should be nominated for Best Actor Oscar. I enjoyed the subplot of black/white security guards learning how to get along.

GiulioFFeb 28, 201010Great movie, maybe not everything is true, but its captivating, touching, and really interesting. Acting is almost perfect and directing is really good. It kept me without any distraction, I couldn't think of anything different from the film.

AlisonM.Dec 12, 20099Best movie of the holiday season ... you might actually learn something, too. Morgan Freeman's understated portrayal of Mandela is sensational. We see the man, his flaws and his pain.

RaymondDec 14, 200910One of the best Sport movies of this decade. It also provides a rare glimpse into how rugby was used to unite a nation. Definitely worth a watch.

RobertDec 22, 200910Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon both give Oscar worthy performances in this masterpiece of a film. Clint Eastwood was able to bring light to subjects that tend to be ignored and was able to get two leading men to play roles many have not seen since Ghandi.

PicbelDec 18, 200910The film is, in my opinion, an accurate depiction of the world cup and took me back to the euphoria and celebrations. One scene I really liked was the little street child listening in on the match with the cops. It got so many things right and painted everyone in a positive light - a true gem and uplifting experience. Well done, Mr. Eastwood

PatG.Dec 25, 20099I agree with Tyler R. and Christopher K. Though I have no interest at all in sports, I loved this movie. It is touching and fascinating in many ways. A tad too long, yes, but it moved me. And it demonstrates how a mature and wise leader will think and behave.

Oct 31, 201010This is a great movie! Anyone and I mean ANYONE who thinks that is not a powerful story about overcoming racial barriers are completely close minded. I am a white male in my middle age and this is the kind of thing we should be teaching our children! Learn from it, grow from it and for god sakes change your pov!

70The wonder of Invictus is that it actually went down this way.
-
60A temperate, evenhanded perhaps overly timid film about an intemperate time in South Africa.
-
80Damon, beefed up for the occasion, makes Pienaar a stalwart yet courtly figure. Freeman infuses Mandela's speeches with the same gentleness and gravity he's brought to his numerous God roles and the Visa Olympics commercials. But the real deity here is Eastwood, still chugging away handsomely in his 80th year.
