Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2015)

This is a story I was not familiar one. It is about John E. Dupont and his quest to come from under the scrutiny of his family and find love and approval from his mother. He does this by seeking to build and coach the ultimate wrestling team. The Schultz brothers were already known in wrestling circles but DuPont gave them the platform to get better. What happens in the course of the movie is interesting. It shows how money and all the material things can give a person the inner grit to win. Steve Carrell portrays Dupont in the perfect manner and is break form his comedic type he usually portrays. Channing Tatum in portraying the brother Mark also pushes the envelope as he accurately paints the solitary life of an athlete the pressures to perform and win. A good movie based on a memoir by Mark Schultz.
