Review: Invincible
Invincible is the true story of how Vince Papale, a Philadelphia Eagles fan played pro football for three seasons with them. The story and acting of the movie are wonderful, and the movie does a good job in telling this true story. Mark Wahlberg gave a credible performance as a determined underdog that ends up getting everything. Why do most movies have the good guy winning in the end? How come the bad guys never win? That’s a side issue, but something to think about.
The movie is a little slow at times, bu think it needs to be slow as it builds up to the finale. The entire story is about how Papale got his position on the team, and less emphasis is placed on what happens at that point. This works well for such a movie.
Overall, I recommend you watch this movie, but it is not something that you should rush out to see right away.
