Invictus
better than I thought it would be - nicola-t
I wasn't expecting much from this film at all. All I had heard about it was that the rugby wasn't particularly convincing. I found myself pleasantly surprised. It's an interesting story and while it is a little light in places there were more than a couple of scenes in it where I found myself really thinking about what it must have been like for the people back then.... especially bearing in mind that we're not talking about that long ago.
I can't say I'll be watching it again but I would recommend it

Missing the Point - Ken McQue
Unlike Mike, I found the movie to be bang on the money. This is not an attempt to narrate the lives of Freeman or Damon. It was how an inspirational leader used the system which tried to break him,... MORE

COMPELLING VIEW - eamonndunphy
An excellent performance by Freeman in his portrayal of Mandela is a highlight in this excellent story. You will be drawn in by the story, and the perhaps over simplifying of the effect of the... MORE
