Foxcatcher

There isn't a love story. There isn't a happy ending. And the leads are three men. It's the true story of Olympic wrestling brothers Mark & Dave Schultz (Channing Tatum & Mark Ruffalo respectively) whom meet the eccentric millionaire John duPont (Steve Carrell). John sponsors a wrestling team called Team Foxcatcher (named after Foxcatcher Farm where John lives). Easily 5 stars...no question. Keep reading.

Steve Carrell DESERVED his Oscar nomination as did Mark Ruffalo. I'm DISAPPOINTED Channing got no acting accolades yet his costars did; he did the best acting of his career thanks to director Bennett Miller (director of 'Capote'). Didn't hurt that Dan Futterman (screenwriter of 'Capote') co-penned a terrifically awkward and moving script. There are zero faults in this movie. It's a slow start, but you really should see this. "If you liked 'Capote,' you'll like 'Foxcatcher." hahaha
