Kept me interested, but I am a little disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2015)

This film tells the story of a Olympic wrestling champion who is offered to be trained by a multi-millionaire on his estate. Things start to get sour when the champion's brother complicates the picture.
"Foxcatcher" tells the story of the Schultz brothers and the millionaire du Pont's story from the perspective of Mark Schultz. Mark gets attention and adoration from du Pont, but soon his limelight is robbed by his older brother. There are ups and downs, but I find the ups and downs not engaging enough. The road to Olympic glory could be inspiring and touching, but I guess this is not the focus of this film, therefore this journey to Olympic glory is very understated in "Foxcatcher".
The many subplots are not adequately explained, such as the appearance of military vehicles and firearms; and more importantly the homo-erotic undertones of du Pont's wrestling training. The ending is abrupt and has no build up to it. Though the film kept me interested, it did not manage to thrill me as it potentially could.
