Review of Chaplin (2011) by Patrick . — 05 Feb 2008

Downey junior is pretty good as charlie chaplin, showing his early days in england doing comedy theatre, hollywood and his famous films and finaly his troubles with the american goverment, and eventual exile in swirzerland, all bases are covered well, but oviously like al film biographies many events condensed or dramatised, but done well, any fan of chaplin should like this as I feel junior does him justice not just his off screen persona, his english acent is superb, but any reinactments, including many of his tramp charactor, its pretty authentic, great direction by richard atenborough, with a big scope, many actors turn up in some good roles, including dan aykroyd and kevin kline, a good adition to true life charactors on film.
