Review: 'Invictus' bears all the marks of a winner | 
From member Christian Toto:
Should Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” grab a fistful of Oscar nominations it’ll be thanks to the Academy’s affection for the aging icon – not what you see on the screen.
Eastwood’s latest bears all the marks of a winner, from its remarkable casting to a subject matter too potent to ignore.
What a shame Eastwood delivers a superficial retelling of how Nelson Mandela used the nation’s rugby team as a symbol of healing.
