Review of Invictus (2009) by Kyle G — 22 May 2012
A spectacular misfire, just perfectly awful. In spite of some handsome casting, the result is flat, boring, exasperating -- the kind of trite, overblown, horrible nonsense that I hoped most filmmakers would try to sidestep, not gleefully fling about.
Eastwood usually has a gift for stylish predictability and obviousness that (somehow) convey interesting subtleties, but here all of his instincts are just plain wrong. And to top it all off, his mess of a movie is built around a stupid story about the brutish, ridiculous sport of rugby.
