Watchable Hubris Tragedy with a Great British Soundtrack - The Program review by PV
I am no fan of cycling so only really knew about Lance Armstrong after he was exposed.
Essentially, this is a Greek tragedy where hubris (arrogance) brings down a man.
It's watchable, but not thrilling - though the performances are excellent.
Best of all is a superb Great British indie soundtrack (even The Fall on here with Dr Pharmacist).
So 3 stars.

Fascinating watch - The Program review by CP Customer
I really wasn't sure what to make of this film and didn't believe it would be something to my taste, but having followed Lance Armstrong's career I was interested in the story behind the story.
Lee Pace is excellent, and portrays a very driven Armstrong, who comes across as ruthless.
