Big deal and bad acting

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2008)

Another highly over-rated Hollywood film for which half the budget was spent on Marketing and the purchase of Oscars for the "Actors".
A fictional and very boring story about a a socially and mentally challenged mathematician who wins the Nobel prize for his Economic postulations which were of little consequence in History. The most over-rated so called Actor of contemporary History, Russell Crowe plays John Nash whilst the his doting Girlfriend and then wife is played by Jennifer Connelly.
Russel Crowe has the usual two facial expressions of arrogant and conceited throughout the film along with his monotone mumbling voice.
This film is poorly directed and drags on like a midday TV soapy about someone who is a misunderstood genius for some strange and confusing reason. Possibly all that study and a closed and unexposed wealthy upbringing brought about this strange anti-social behaviour which is interpreted as some type of mental illness as in that other highly over-rated fictional biography "Shine".
This film and Shine prove that Oscars can be bought.
