If you're a fan of sports, drama, biopics, Sony Classic Pictures, films of the criterion selection, I highly recommend this film to you. Channing Tatum is in his best performance I've ever seen him in as a quiet, overtly nervous, mistreated, lonely and angry-under-the-surface adult who feels dangerously inferior to his older brother played by Mark Ruffalo. Steve Carell executes his first solely-dramatic performance without any of his familiar quirks whatsoever as John DuPont, the emotionless yet strangely charismatic, enigmatic, bloodthirsty coach benefactor of the Mark Schultz (Tatum) as he trains him for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games
