An Absolute Masterpiece...(Re-Edited)

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2015)

Steve Carell's performance in this film reminded me of the late Robin Williams in One Hour Photo...It was transforming...Chilling...And just downright flawless...
Mark Ruffalo was equally powerful...His performance as Davis Schultz was right on the money...That can be said about almost all of His work...
But Channing Tatum was the one actor in this film who clearly stole the show...From what I have seen of his work...I can honestly say that he is an actor who gets better every time I see him...And so far...This is his most powerful performance to date...
And as for director Bennett Miller...I have to say that for a guy who has only directed five films...He is quite masterful...And I hope to see a great deal more of his work in the near future...
There is only one exception...The finale of the story did not need to be so graphic...After doing a little compare and contrast between this film and American Sniper...I came to realize that maybe the finale to this film was a bit too over the top...
Beyond that...This film was an absolute masterpiece...And that's all there is too it...
