INVICTUS **½

Clint Eastwood directed this drama which stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. SEE THE PREVIEW Rated PG-13 for brief strong language. Running time is two hours and fourteen minutes.

Tells the true story of how Nelson Mandela (Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team (Damon) to help unite their country soon after Mandela was elected President.

If you enjoy well crafted, well acted dramas that feature the sport of rugby, this might be a film you'll enjoy. For me, however, the pacing was too slow, the action nonexistent, and the film too unnecessarily long to be truly satisfying. Additionally, the plot covers a subject most in this country long ago ceased to be interested in. Compound that with the fact a fair amount of time is spent watching rugby, a sport I and the majority of Americans are not familiar with, and you have a film I don't think most will find ultimately satisfying. The big screen adds virtually nothing to the film so feel free to wait until you can watch it at home.
