Brick has Left the building

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2015)

When it comes to comedy actors they rarely seem to make it past the low budget laugh romp, yet since Matthew Mcconaughey made a big break from Zero to hero with Dallas buyers club (undeservingly) and became an A lister overnight it would seem that everyone is having a go.
Unlike the quite frankly ridiculous Mcconaughey , Steve Carell pulls a career defining and surely worthy of an Oscar debut as John Du Pont, His chillingly brilliant performance (which he missed out on Best actor because of the awfully amateurish and dry performance of Eddie Redmayne) is just one reason to love this film. Channing Tatum stars Mark Schultz who he and his brother Dave Schultz are Olympic gold medal winners. they get recruited by Du Pont to be a part of his TEAM In his rich mansion. (Much to his mother's Dislike - Vanessa Redgrave and Dave's wife (Sienna Miller) they go nevertheless. Tensions rise as Pont becomes a father figure and jealous of Dave's hold over Mark until eventually his mother dies and he kills Dave in cold blood, violently and Painfully. THIS IS Such a powerful film that you have to be a stone to not feel emotion to it.
