Very well done

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2015)

I didn't see this movie coming. usually u hear a buzz see trailers. something. nope i pulled this one off the Oscar nominee list. i had no idea it was based on a true story until post viewing research.
For me in any film the most important thing is the cast. more important that directing, cinematography, effects, sound editing and so on. and when u see who is cast for these roles u say what the frock. Both Steve Carrel and Channing Tatum go miles outside there comfort zone and do a very good job. Carrel more so than Tatum. Tatum was just sorta quiet and didn't really act a lot but he played it cool and didn't do anything to make you not believe. Carrel on the other hand. wow i grew up watching this guy on the daily show, as brick Tatum from anchorman, or even almighty. always hilarious and light. i will never look at him the same again. In Fox Catcher he is nothing short of one creepy Mother trucker. an Oscar worthy performance no doubt.
Again mad props for casting. Mark Ruffalo is a great and bankable choice for any director to cast he was the shining star of this film for sure. He does a flawless job of portraying Tatum's brother role model and mentor in this movie. u really feel like he is his brother and you wish he was your big brother. he just came across as so honest and loving.
Not best picture this year i'm afraid, but 3 amazing performances i will never forget.
