What this Program needs is a little bit of explaining to do. Alright sure, don't be asking me for a raise just to see this movie again because it possibly won't, but depends on the person I make contact on.

This is a biography about Lance Armstrong and it couldn't work itself to get favorable reviews.… Expand

This is an ok biopic. Its a bit bland and not especially exciting as such, for a sports drama but its, you guessed it, ok. I like Chris O'Dowd, so when I heard he was in it, I wanted to see it.

I like Chris O'Dowd, so when I heard he was in it, I wanted to see it. I do like a good biopic and character focussed dramas, so this should have been interesting but it felt just a bit too long drawn out and given its got a running time of slightly under an hour and three quarters long, that does say something. However, there is a decent cast, with Dustin Hoffman and the main character played by Ben Foster, who does give a fairly convincing performance. Lance certainly comes across as a cocky, brash sort of guy. Perhaps its because its based on a true story that it feels a bit uncomfortable but usually I'm quite keen and even find films more compelling if I know their based on true stories but in this case, it just didn't quite feel great but it isn't entirely bad - its watchable and with a good cast, just not at all compelling or memorable really. Overall, unsurprisingly, I wouldn't recommend it, no.… Expand

Didactic, elementary and superficial. The story of the greatest and most arrogant scammer in sports history needed to be explored better in terms of both narrative and character exploration. Definitely not one of the best Frears movies.
