Interesting but not very in-depth

Not very long into The Program, the latest film by director Stephen Frears, you get the sense of where this story is headed. American cyclist Lance Armstrong is looking for some way to get himself over the hump — and that way is through drugs. There was no way to shy away from that portion of Armstrong’s career — especially when it became such a large part of it — but it seems almost forced or way too early to be jumping on that plot detail, instead, assuming that we know why we came there. And that is the biggest issue with The Program. It is very interested in tearing down the legend of Armstrong, but never interested in what led up to his choice to cheat: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/the-program/
