7/10
Moving, inspirational and great performance
Invictus is about Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, initiates a unique venture to unite the apartheid-torn land: enlist the national rugby team on a mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
This film focuses mainly on the journey to the cup but the part of the film that makes this film so solid is the brilliant portrayal of Nelson Mandela by Morgan Freeman. Matt Damon's portrayal is good but not stunning or overly memorable.
Invictus also takes something as simple as a rugby game and makes it a nations strive and pride.
The soundtrack for Invictus is the most powerful as it creates the tone of the entire film. I absolutely recommend everyone to listen to the soundtrack on its own. It is such a powerful piece of work.
The cinematagraphy and direction comes together beautifully to support the atmosphere as well.
A definite watch for sports fans and those who want some encouraging and powerful.
