Foxcatcher

You'll leave the theater wowed by the acting, yet unimpressed by the film.

In the name of seriousness, Foxcatcher is deathly dull and far too graceless. When all it needed was a director light on his feet.

Foxcatcher is one of those films that need to be seen. You get to see powerhouse acting from Steve Carell. In fact, he has been nominated multiple times for his performance. The dynamics between Tatum, Ruffalo and Carell also keep you captivated. Foxcatcher isn't just a sports film, it's a showcase of relationships and human nature.

Foxcatcher is a fabulous story of the American dream gone wrong.

Foxcatcher illuminates three complex men (to varying degrees) and their relationships. It highlights the disservice we as a society do to our sportspersons (a point that will resonate with audiences here). And it depicts just how much we're willing to overlook when great wealth and power are brought to bear on a situation.

There are three remarkable performances which elevate the film, starting with Mark Ruffalo who plays a rather unusual character. After doing mostly mainstream films, Channing Tatum shows there is more to him than just his good looks. Steve Carell conveys all the right expressions in good measure, as John du Pont he adds another dimension to his character.
