Theme of the movie was made, but not enough history of South Africa, not enough about Mandela. too much Rugby. What makes Eastwood movies great is character development. Too little of that in this movie. The "uniting" of the country by sport...? The way it is protrayed was not so convincing.....Not my favorite Eastwood movie. Missing the punch of his other films.
Very dissappointed. Slow, boring and very poorly written. My son is 9 and LOVES the movies and simply was underwhelmed and fidgeted through the entire film and kept asking to leave.
I could not wait to leave....I saw no value or point to the movie either...he did not laugh once!
