Overall, an excellent watch.

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2014)

I prefer my movies to have a faster pace than the slow moving Foxcatcher, but when this film hits the mark, it does it with a bang.
Possibly does not hurt that I knew little about the true story of Mark Schultz, A gold metal Olympic wrestler who gets offered a free ride to train with a man named John Du Pont, and eccentric millionaire attempting to stroke his own ego through the achievements of others.
Steve Carell has dabbled with drama in his Indi comedies like The Way Way Back, but this time he goes full on leaving the jokes behind and putting on a vast amount of make up to hide his face and get into the character.
Steve and Channing Tatum together were good but I really liked Mark Ruffalo in the movie. That was worth seeing.
The movie drags in a way that makes me feel the filmmakers were like " I don't give a crap". It could have been shorter but still a good movie.
