Great Movie, but...

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2002)

Too often, trailers give the movie away. Fortunately, this was not the case for "Beautiful Mind". This is not a spy movie. Well, on second thought, it is and it isn't. Russell Crow has positioned himself for another Best Actor nomination. The only disappointing aspect of this movie was that we do not really get a true understanding for John Nash's genius. The movie would have been more complete if we knew why John Nash won a scholorship to Princeton, and more detail as to why he won the Nobel Prize. With that aside, however, this was an excellent film. The acting is superb and once you leave the theater, it makes for great conversation. One may feel a little uncomfortable watching Crow's character for the first hour or so, but then the story comes together and all questions are answered.
