It's a slow moving movie with no car chases and not much suspense since the end is already known to most or if you want just look up the story on the net. The acting is first rate and I was surprised at how well Ruffalo and Tatum pulled off the wresting scenes. It's a big change for Tatum, but Ruffalo has been around the block and is know for his acting chops.

If you want an adult drama based upon a true story, with first rate acting, this may be for you.

I don't recall the rating, but I would guess PG-13. Teens could see it, but they would most likely be bored stiff. Couple of cocaine sniffing scenes. A couple of scenes with Carrell and Tatum wrestling, cutting hair, but nothing more explicit. If they were gay, it's very understated and not directly played out.

N-Joy!

Looks like R-rated. Don’t agree, but I defer and those of you who care, suit your own sensibilities.

Just saw Mockingjay. Good, but as a half of a real story, hard to say how good it is til you see part 2. Still, no way anyone can say this is anything BUT an anti-government, anti-DC movie.

BTW, this looks like a movie I’d want to see, but will likely wait for DirectTV. For some reason, about the only thing I can stand in a theater is an action movie . . . unless it’s my own (www.rockinthewallstudios.com).

While the Schultz brothers were most likely the greatest siblings in collegiate and college wrestling I think one would have to consider Dan Gable as the greatest. He is essentially the wrestling equivalent of John Wooden.

WHIPLASH is worth seeing if you like indie dramas.

Wow, I’d heard about this movie but I had no idea Steve Carrell was playing that psycho Du Pont.

We all disdain Redgrave’s politics, but she is a very good actress, and she’s very beautiful also.
