As a former rugby player, it was great to see the sport gets its due in the movies and the rugby scenes had a tremendous sense of realism to them. More importantly, Eastwood's showing how the sport brought two long-standing factions in South Africa together-even for a moment-was inspirational.
Excellent acting by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. I hope this movie brings them and Clint Eastwood Oscars for one of the best pictures for 2009.
