Audience Reviews for Invincible

  • Oct 25, 2015
    Invincible is visually eye-popping with its landscape off the field and action on the gridiron. Even though marred by a less-than-captivating-plot and somewhat cheesy-Disney-inspiration, the film is still able to be inspiring and heartfelt. 3.5/5

    wahlberg is superb in the lead and the story is nothing new but it is another case of the underdog over coming obstacles to succeed. well made if a little heavy handed

    Under better direction, "Invincible" might have been something, but with Ericson Core at the helm, the inspiring true story of Vincent Papale is turned into a formulaic tear-jerker. Undeveloped characters, corny dialogue, and an abrupt ending are some of the film's major faults. Plus, the whole thing looks as though it was filmed through a jar of piss.

    Invincible is a very entertaining film that I really enjoyed, even if its filled with every clichà (C) in the book.
