Great!

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2005)

Highly riveting film with a super performance by both Russell Crowe and Ed Harris. Even though the director changed John Nash's life a great deal to make it a more entertaining movie. John Nash, a genius who came up with a business model that was adopted by many businesses, is a social oddball that is so dedicated to his studies that he has absolutely no concept of social skills. He finds it a task to even make the slightest bit of conversation with a female. The only person he seems to get along with is his college roommate (later we find out that this roommate is not what he seems). His genius attracts a government agency that employs him briefly as a code breaker. There he meets Ed Harris, who is not what he seems either. Ed has him working on top secret work that involves breaking secret transmissions from the Russians.
Everything then starts to unravel and we learn the truth about the people that seem to influence John the most.
Crowe gives a super performance in probably the role he was born to play!
