Couldn't have been a better cast

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

Russell Crowe certainly proved his acting ability in this movie. I heard many, many people disagreeing with his winning of best actor for Gladiator saying that there wasn't much acting involved. Russell being a primarily muscle actor...but this movie, A Beautiful Mind, Crowe nailed perfectly. It was absolutely incredible watching him play such a complicated character, and the story was so fascinating. I think the movie is definitely Academy material, and all my money goes to Russell winning best actor. That'll make it two in a row for him. Ed Harris and everyone else were so great, I couldn't have spent my five bucks better than buying a ticket to this movie.
