2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   As the saying goes: the story is so bizarre, it has to be true. Foxcatcher does a great job at capturing the story of the world class wrestling Schultz brothers. Dedicated to their craft with an incredibly close relationship. The bizarre part is John du Pont – the wealth inheritor of the famous du Pont family estate. Setting up the now infamous Foxcatcher facility and letting drugs and an incredibly insecure personality get the best of him, and David Schultz. The story is transfixing.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   It is hard to take your eyes off of Steve Carell in his John du Pont zone. A bit macabre, you almost expect the laugh-track to start – but it never does. Mark Ruffalo brings is A game as the older wrestling Schultz brother and Channing Tatum nails it as the slightly meat-headish but innocently focused Mark Schultz.
