If you like Sherlock Holmes' stories & Robert Downey then you'll really like this - We did. Good fun.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I went with my daughter & some friends & we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience & the movie was very good. I've read other cricisms of the movie & didn't experience those faults but can see their points-of-view upon reflection. But this is a must see movie & I look forward to more like it. Zoe was GREAT!!! I have to admit I'm a big Sigorney fan too.
The movie tries to tell a righteous story, which may be true to a certain extent whereas Mandela went through heck in order to bring his country back to civil rights as much as humanly possible (although some South Africans I know tell me that the Matt Damon character was not a nice guy - I won't say what they told me - &, as mentioned in the movie, probably helped to brutalize the population more than admitted in the flick). The various bar-scene celebrations were the director indulging his film but way overdone & too long.
After seeing the "coming attractions" my expectations were not met. Sure I went to see a Denzel great movies - I've seen many of his wonderful works but he walked through the role & Mila was exceptional & he so-so. My expectations were too high & not met. Mila was as good (maybe better) than Denzel & Oldman.
