Great film. Well worth going to see. Terrific acting by Morgan Freeman & Matt Damon. Even though you know what the end is going to be, you can still feel the excitement of being at a rugby match. You could hear a pin drop in the cinema which is a good sign! A real feel-good movie without being over-the-top or sugary sweet in the traditional Hollywood style.
