Nice idea but not fulfilled

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2002)

The final thought that came into my mind when I saw the scrolling cast and credits of this movie was that it could have done better. It is not a bad movie, but there are some aspects that distort the picture. The idea of the movie is certainly extraordinary, acting is superb so is music and cinematography but dialogues destroy it. I have not seen so overdone dialogues for a long time and accompanied with strange way Nash speaks in the movie (which was probably intended to emphasis his difference from "normal" people) often left me wondering, "what the heck did he say?". Anyway, I do not know whether this is the best movie of 2001, but I give it 7. It is definitely worth watching but it is definitely lacking the sense of masterpiece.
