Invictus

The story of Mandela's attempt to unite South Africa through rugby, traditionally the white man's sport, and the 1995 Rugby World Cup.

Some poignant moments, a stellar performance by Morgan Freeman as Mandela - the voice, mannerisms, walk , he is Mandela and great rugby footage at the end of the movie.

I wanted to like this more than I actually did, it felt a bit telemovie in the end.
Taurus...loyal friend and dedicated enemy.

Thought it was rather average. Nothing outstanding, some funny accents.
