First Man

0Slow pacing detracts from this otherwise riveting, well-acted, factually based, emotionally charged, realistic, suspenseful, star-studded (CiarĂ¡n Hinds, Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Patrick Fugit, Lukas Haas, Shea Whigham, Christopher Abbott, Ethan Embry, John David Whalen, Brian d'Arcy James, and J. D. Evermore), 138-minute biopic thriller based on James R. Hansen's novel First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong that focuses on the astounding career and life of legendary, reserved, stoic, brilliant, calm-under-pressure astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling), who was married to his supportive, anxious, chain-smoking wife (Claire Foy) and has two children after losing a daughter, between 1961 and 1969 as he trains and prepares to lead NASA's high-stakes Apollo 11 mission and to work with astronauts Buzz Aldrin (Corey Stoll) and Jim Lovell (Pablo Schreiber) to land the Eagle lunar module on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
