Great film one of the best of 2014

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2014)

This is about Dave and Mark Shutlz who are wrestlers. Mark just won the olympic gold medal in 1984. He now wants to be coached by Jon De Pont played chillingly by Steve Carrell. This is a great film about what it takes to be a champion in the sports arena. It is quite a quiet film in the sense there is not much dialogue. But there things going on beneath the surface that are sinister. Steve Carrell as the coach i have never seen him do such an interesting and chilling performance. They way he delivers dialogue and carries himself in this film is scary. Channing Tatum is also effective as his protégé. Also Mark Ruffalo as Tatum's older brother is great as well. This film has dark moments and some great moments. There are chilling and scary moments as well. This is very well directed by Bennet Miller who did Capote and Moneyball. I highly recommend this film for film buffs who want to see something a little different. 5 stars
