Invictus


Rating: 7
Running Time: 2:00
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon
Genre: Mature Audience, Drama, Documentary

Not too many Americans understand a whole lot about Rugby, but it doesn't matter. It wasn't hard to get caught up in the rugby world of games of 1995, and the South Africans quest for the championship. The movie is focused on Nelson Mandela's obsession with the national team as his big hope for racial reconciliation upond taking office as the South African leader after his long prison sentence. Freeman is superb as Mandela and may recieve some consideration for an Academy Award. As the teams captain, Damon buys into Mandela's inspiration.
