Foxcatcher (2014)

I have to admit, I didn't know anything about this story that's based on actual events.  I went in just knowing that shit was going to go down towards the end but that's it.  My brother Erik and I went to the Violent Crown Cinema to witness great performances by Steve Carell, Channing fucking Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo.  It is a slow driven drama that requires lots of patience.  Then that tragic ending wakes you the fuck up.  I enjoyed it.  Not among my favorites of the year but worth watching for the story and performances.  Steve Carell plays one psychotic maniac.  Who would've thought?  I'm being sarcastic by the way. 
Worth checking out but not a priority.
