INVINCIBLE
What a great name for a movie about a guy named Vince who became a professional football player when he was thirty by showing up at a PR stunt 'open tryout'.
Mark Wahlberg plays Vince. Greg Kinnear plays his coach.
This is an excellent movie and you should see it.
Yes.
It is about jocks.
No. You do not have to understand about football.
You must know that I do not know or care diddle about it.
Yes. It is one of those 'inspirational' films. But, it is OK. It is a true story.
Great escapism. Some wonderful son/dad, friend/friend moments.
Mild romance does not get into the way of the story.
This film is a perfect fit for Mark Wahlberg who(m?) we adore anyway. But even if we didn't, still a 5.
I am not even going to bother with a link here.
Just rent it. Now.
Go on. Do it.
At the end, they show the two real people and some game tapes. Goose bumps.
It is a light 5 out of Netflix5.
