Even if you're not into wrestling it's worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2017)

Even if you're not a fan of wrestling this movie is worth watching. I'm myself not a big fan of that sport but the movie is interesting and captivating. It's based on a true story, a story that I as an European had never heard of, and that makes it even more interesting. The make-up artists deserve a lot of credits in Foxcatcher because if it was not for the distinctive voice of Steve Carrell, that I immediately recognized, his physic transformation was stunning. You could hardly recognize him. Channing Tatum's make-up was also good. He looked like he escaped from his cave and he did portray the image that I had of a wrestler very well. The story is easy to follow and the outcome was not what I thought it would be, that was a bonus. The character of John Du Pont played by Steve Carrell is the typical rich guy that thinks everything is for sale and the guy that thinks he can get away with anything. He's a repulsive guy to watch but very well done from Steve Carrell. So even if you're not interested in wrestling give this movie a chance, you might like it like I did.
