Movie #1498 ......................."Icarus"
Movie #1498 "Icarus" --- must admit that I never finished this one --- it went on and on and on -- and it was all over the place. It deals with an important topic "doping" in sports, esp. biking, and it follows an amateur who was trying to figure out how Lance Armstrong had been tested at least 50 times and never showed any traces of drugs when everyone in the business pretty much knew he was doping --- this guy Bryan Fogel (director, creator of this film) connects with the big doctor who is the center of the doping scandal of the Russian Olympic fiasco last year. This is an important topic, but not near as important as others in this nominated group of documentaries this year, so I really don't think it has a shot come next Sunday. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5.
