Why i rated it 7 and not higher or lower !!!

First of all, i have to state that i'm a big Herzog fan. I consider him to be one of the greatest and one of the most under-rated directors of all time. But let's not waste time with that and let's get back at the topic.

- INVINCIBLE is a drama based on a true story of Zishe Breitbart and only a few people that go for it know this, since all the marketing campaign has been done around Tim Roth who plays Erik Jan Hanussen, a "mystic" man who is the leader of this "show" where you can see some interesting things goin' on (a cabaret variety show).

- First i have to tell you what didn't work in here and than continue with the things that worked.
* The movie runs 133' (mins) and yet it gives you a feeling that you haven't seen enough, it leaves you disappointed a bit, but no way you can blame the directing... the whole problem stands with the writing... The Screenplay doesn't work, it doesn't center on anything concrete but it tries to include all this long story... starting with Breitbart been discovered in "this" Poland village after he wrestles this "big dude" etc etc... then he moves in Berlin (after 25+ mins) and then the interesting story begins... so by all means Herzog disappoints us down with this clumsy and not so dimensional screenplay...

- Something else that didn't work and everyone can notice it, is the acting of Jouko Ahola who plays Zishe Breitbart... his acting is just "dull" and simply "bad", it is one of the factors that this didn't turn out to be what it should...

On the other hand:
*/* Hans Zimmer score is good, he is on his level and that serves as a strong element of the movie.
+/+ Herzog as the director does a superb job, he does his magic and this serves as the strongest point of the movie to let us carry on...

+/+ Also i have to praise Tim Roth, who delivers a strong performance, even thou he's supporting. No wonder why he has worked with great directors such as Tarantino, Haneke, Wenders, Coppola, Allen etc etc.

7/10 - with better screenplay and someone else on the leading role these could've been a real contender.
