Chilling! A stunning and cereal achievement.

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2015)

"Foxcatcher" isn't a sports movie. It's a movie about sports. Thi is the kind of film that gives you a knot in your stomach for the entire film even though nothing terrifying is coming until the end. The greatest Olympic Wrestling Champion brother team joins Team Foxcatcher led by multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont (Steve Carell) as they train for the 1988 games in Seoul - a union that leads to unlikely circumstances. Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo play the brothers Mark and Dave Schukltz. They each give strong and intense performances. However, what makes this movie especially note-worthy is the shocking and legendary performance by Steve Carell. That's right, the hysterical Michael Scott plays a creepy and chilling wrestling coach worth billions. Carell's movements, eye contact, soft speech and makeup give him a charisma like Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the lambs." He gives an absolutely jaw- dropping and career turning performance of a lifetime. Bennett Miller as the director shoots each scene with a kind of subtle intensity that really hasn't been done before. He films his characters' interactions perfectly to make us engrossed with each man. This male-dominated film tackles down the ideas of ambition and makes you wonder weeks after you view it. "Foxcatcher" is a poignant film that delivers both visually and mentally and will engross you in a way that few films can.
