Foxcatcher (2014)


Based on real life events of wrestling brothers Dave and Mark Schultz and billionaire John du Pont.  It touches also the psychological effects of a ruined childhood.

Personally, this is Tatum, Carell, and Ruffalo's best performances yet.  Bennett's style of direction is the same as Capote, another brilliant work of his.  Overall it's good and wonderfully acted - deserving of all the accolades given.  

However, I expected it to be more gripping and engaging.  

This is a great opportunity for Channing to prove that he can act and escape from his matinee idol image.
