Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2004)

Russell Crowe shows that he is well capable of extraordinary performances in many different types of movies. In this particular movie he gives the most I have seen so far. He does exceptional work by not only convincingly but seemingly truly being John Nash with a very distinctive personality and body language. Jennifer Connelly does an equally good job and is flawless in her performance. All actors seem to be, actually, but those two definatly stood out from the crowd, since they had much more different scenes to play in. As Russell Crowe played his part in the movie I could not by any means see the man who once was a brutal gladiator. Being able to shed his old skin this well R.C. must certainly be one of the great actors of our time!
All in all this movie is very good! It is clearly a real life drama and thus void of any great amounts of fantasy or action or similar. Absolutely worth seeing, enjoying and getting sucked up by.
