Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carell - I'm not a fan of either of them (nor am I a fan of wrestling), but they all gave the best performances of their careers. Very impressive.
I didn't recognize Steve Carell at all! Even after checking IMDb about 2/3 into the movie, to see who the actor is, I was shocked to see it's him and still couldn't really recognize him. Great combination of performance and makeup by Bill Corso.
I really like the interaction between Channing Tatum's and Mark Ruffalo's characters, which often communicate without any word and is just as powerful. Great stuff.
Great performance, good direction. Story/script are lacking.
As a fan of composer Mychael Danna, I couldn't NOT recognize the reoccurring theme, taken directly from his score to "Capote" (also directed by Bennett Miller).
I also couldn't help getting a "Boogie Nights" vibe from this movie.
