Saw it this past Saturday night. I have to say, while it didn't sweepingly stun me, I found it to be a very solid film, well-made and well-performed. Matt Damon may not have been used to his best, but he is really a fairly dependable actor, and I thought his performance was fine. Freeman as Mandela was superb. There was such a spirit of the man in him, it took my breath away. His screen-time is worth the whole price of entry, IMO.
