Amazing performance By Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carell

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2015)

Brilliant performance by the supporting Cast, a intriguing true story, but has a very slow tempo that makes this film feel like its more then 4 hours long.
Let me first say, i was not a fan of Tatum in the film. There, he often broke character, and you can see that he wanted to break out a smile half the time he was on screen. Also the fact that he just kept on pushing his lower jaw out and slightly squinting his eye brows, didn't change the fact that he spoke and had all of his own mannerisms. His only good performance was in the hotel scene, where he was breaking down, but even then we didn't see his face.
Mark Ruffalo was by far the best actor! He stole the film with his excellent performance. Just look at the way he walked, carried his body in this film compared to Avengers. Look at his mannerisms, his little personal character traits, this is was great acting is. his Nominations for Oscars was well deserved.
Steve Carell was also great in the film, although he did have a lot of prosthetic over his face, he still came across as the Golden Eagle rather then Carell playing the Coach. I can not say, and will not say that he was better then Mark, because he wasn't. But he did demonstrate that he has a variety of acting abilities in this film.
Now as for the film, and what i believe was the reason why this film is a 5/10. The story was interesting, and is based on the real events surrounding John du Pont and the Schultz brothers, but as a film, it felt at most to be dragging on. Not Much was happening, the tension was building very, very slow. and makes you look on your watch to see how much of time has passed. The not so subtle direction of suggestions of some kind of relationship between John and Mark, just felt awkward and pushed down the viewers throat.
I can honestly say that i did want to walk away from the film, but only stayed to watch more of Mark's brilliant acting and Carell's great performance. Now i know some might say, this is not an entertainment popcorn flick, and that's fine, but if i can sit and watch 12 angry men all day on repeat and not get bored. Then i should do the same for this. Not feel like "When is this going to end"
