To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Invincible is a pretty standard "inspirational sports movie." It has all of the familiar characters, plot lines and dialogue that we have grown accustomed to in movies like this. This is the Western Family version of Rudy. It's not exceptional, just acceptable. Plus, I was surprised to find out how much this movie differs from the actual life of Vince Papale.

I have watched many sports films - the good ones and the bad ones. And, this movie definitely sits among the top ones in that genre. As a viewer, we could feel the struggles of the title character Vince Papale and his determination to stick tight on the difficult times. All the football sequences were shot to perfection and were good enough to experience the tension on the field. And above all, what makes you more delightful is that, this is a real story.

OK, so this movie is probably one of the best "sports movies" that I've seen. Everything was perfect from the actors to the script to the score, everything. And I am NOT a fan of football or the Philadelphia Eagles but I loved his movie. I would suggest to anyone who likes a real underdog story, this movie is one that you should not miss. Really great storyline, kind of reminds me of older movies that really thought about character development and heart. 10/10 stars!

I like Mark Wahlberg in some movies, others I think he is just okay. In this one, I thought he was just great. he plays a truly likable former high school football player (who never played in college), but still hits the "gridiron" in pick up games in South Philly in the late 1970s. He's lost his job as a high school teacher and his wife left him, leaving a note that he will never go anywhere in life. Well, things change rather quickly when Dick Vermil (played strongly by Greg Kinear) takes over for the desperate, losing Philadelphia Eagles. Vermil decides to give walk-on tryouts to Philadelphia natives, as a publicity stunt. One person gets called to camp, and that's Wahlberg's character. This is a definite inspirational story, which is based on a true story, where the guy actually makes the team. Wahlberg's character has speed, intensity, passion, and will, and he becomes a special teams expert, playing 3 or 4 years in the NFL. Only downside,as I have learned in many of these "biographical" movies, is that while it was close to the truth, there were many things in the movie that turned out to be just plain false. but if you're watching Invincible as just a movie, and not a biography, then this is great one, which didn't get the critical reviews it deserves.
