Clint Eastwood is a genius. Being a fan of his work for many years now, I always expect something good every time he releases a new movie. “Invictus” is another fine example of how brilliant that guy really is. It’s a movie that has a lot to offer. Morgan Freeman (who else?) is perfectly cast as newly elected president Nelson Mandela who decides to bring his people together by organizing the rugby world cup in South Africa. Matt Damon plays the captain of the rugby team and he does a fine job aswell. The reason why this movie worked for me is mainly because it’s based on real events. The message is powerful and universal: sports can bring a divided nation together again. Take it from Mr. Mandela; he did it in 1995 and again in 2010 with the FIFA world cup. As for Eastwood, he’s on top again with another fine movie. Respect.
Rating: 3/4
