Ben Foster's impressive efforts to channel Lance Armstrong are often enough to power The Program past director Stephen Frears' frustrating unwillingness to delve deeper into its real-life story.

The flashily photographed enterprise too often becomes a blur of sound bites and slick aesthetics akin to a Nike commercial. Mar 18, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

For a story about incredibly focused determination - and if nothing else, Lance Armstrong had that - the film remains strangely uninvolved. Mar 18, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It never goes deep on what it was that produced the awfulness that is Lance Armstrong. Mar 18, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"The Program," much to its detriment, concentrates almost exclusively on the history of the doping effort . There is no mention of his childhood or adolescence or any attempt to analyze his character. Mar 17, 2016 | Full Review…

Foster nails Armstrong, right down to his final, clenched-jaw TV confession to Oprah Winfrey but The Program's glancing narrative feels less secure. Mar 17, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It must be said that Foster excels as Armstrong. Bearing an unnerving physical resemblance to the fallen cycling hero, he is a revelation in a remarkable tour de force -- not France -- performance. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Program is never less than interesting, and the cast is high-caliber. However, the movie makes us want to know more, rather than come away with the sense that we've been through an experience ourselves. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Foster, though, delivers a strong and convincing performance, and I could watch films about Armstrong and his evil machinations for ever. This one may fail to unearth many of his mysteries, but it is a confident, if understated, offering. Jan 4, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The abiding achievement of the film rests throughout with Foster, who can shift on a dime from the charismatic to the repellent and whose Armstrong is at his most grimly compelling when engaged in an ongoing commentary with himself. Nov 20, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Program can be viewed as especially relevant, given that doping in sport is coincidentally, in the news again. Nov 7, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
