Invictus (2009) rating: 7/10

The Clint Eastwood film is remarkably low key and probably didn't do all that well in the box office, but tells the story of how it came to be that Mandela put all his support behind what used to be the white Afrikaner's sport and team. Damon does well as Pienaar, captain of the South African rugby team (though perhaps a bit too short for that leadership position), and Freeman is outstanding as Mandela.
