'Invincible' Reminder of the Old Days


In "Invincible" Mark Wahlberg is at his best as a bad ass walk-on from a tough South Philly hood to the Eagles in the mid-70's. This is a Rocky-like movie for anyone who enjoys sports that does a good job of reminding us of the importance of grit and guts as opposed to the business side of sports that too often dominates today. Greg Kinnear is good as the first year Dick Vermeil, but Wahlberg stands out as a bulked-up bartender who plays most of his ball in the street and brings that attitude to the NFL. A true story that is a must see for any sports fan.

In a time honored tradition, although I have not seen this movie, I feel compelled to give my standard two word review. "Trite Crap"
