Review of Invincible

Invincible (2001)
7/10
surprisingly moving film
2 April 2006
This was a surprisingly moving film, in spite of some really bad acting. Juko Ahola, who is apparently a well-known Polish body builder, plays the role of a Jewish strongman in pre-WW II Poland. After he defeats the circus strongman, he is noticed by a German entertainer who wants to include him in the show. He agrees, and goes along with the act playing a Teutonic type which gets all the Nazi's excited. The most interesting and best acted role is played by Tim Rice as the owner of the Palace and medium and Nazi sympathizer. Whether this part of the story is true or not, it is the most interesting part. I won't reveal the plot here, but it was a surprise to me. The story is based on a a true character, and ends on a down note. Still, I would recommend it.
