A film lacking Herzog's USP -- an ironic and regressive sense of the irreducible power of images -- 'Invincible' feels as though it has been devised by a scholar steeped in Herzog lore, but who at some crucial early stage mistook him for Istvan Szabo.

There's a sugar coating to the way Papale's story unfolds, but not so much that you'll spoil your dinner.
September 16, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 -
Even Papale's most famous play, recovering a fumble to set up a touchdown, is embellished, as if Disney can't bear to stick with the facts.
August 25, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/5 -
When it's good it's very good. When it's bad -- well, it's still pretty good.

Invincible is a working-class jock Cinderella fantasy with the sincerity of a beer commercial, the soul of a Republican incumbent, and the designer-flannel esthetics of an old Bruce Springsteen video.

It may not break new ground, but Invincible is an entertaining film, awash in clichs but leavened by the charismatic performance of Mark Wahlberg as Vince Papale.

Oct 25, 2015Invincible 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. 3.5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

May 06, 2012wahlberg 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 handedBrendan N Super Reviewer

Apr 10, 2012Under 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.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011Invincible is a very entertaining film that I really enjoyed, even if its filled with every clichà (C) in the book.Bradley W Super Reviewer
