Review of Invictus (2009) by Stephen H — 21 Mar 2012
I think Nelson Mandela was born to be played by Morgan Freeman (see what I did there?). Too bad director Clint Eastwood wrapped a likeable performance with a standard sports story, complete with a schmaltzy conclusion, while downplaying the racial tensions of post-apartheid South Africa.
And Matt Damon had a better film this year ("The Informant"), so the love for this performance is baffling.
