Dry, bleak, dramatic and very intense and interesting...

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2015)

"Foxcatcher" is a fairly decent adaptation of the real life events of Team Foxcatcher and John du Pont's murder of Olympic gold medalist David Schultz. Like all bio-pics and "based on a true story" in the world of films, there are some inaccuracies, embellishments or total changes for the sake of story-telling, drama, or the need to up the ante because the real events weren't interesting enough. These types of changes don't really bother me because the end product is pretty dark and dramatic. Not to mention that the cast is giving off truly amazing performances.
The only real downside I had for the film was the fact it has the habit of being a little dry and has quite a few moments that drag and has the potential to be boring to some people. However, overall, I didn't find the film to be a snoozer but found it pretty intriguing.
