This loses half a star for giving some terrible artists royalties by using their music that shouldn't have ever been released for public consumption. Reddit loses any of the respect I had left for it (which wasn't much) by being corrupt and in the hands of the greedy and reprehensible. Paul Dano, who plays the lead, Keith Gill, doesn't look like an elite middle distance runner at all like Keith Gill was, so you have to suspend disbelief with that detail. I always like a based on true story movies, but sometimes with them you feel like you could've taken in the same information from a five-minute read of a Wikipedia page that you do with a 90 minute film and this kind of feels like one of those. And of course we needed the LGBT aspect added in to this because no movie can leave a box unticked. Close to a 3 out of 5.
