Incredible acting

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

Russell Crowe has once again proved his wide-range acting skills and has given another Oscar winning performance. Since I had not read any review of the movie, nor did I know that the story was based on the life of Dr. Nash, therefore I was not influenced by someone else's analysis. I think Ron Howard definitely deserves recognition for his directorial efforts. The young Mr. Howard has proved that you can still make good movies without profanity, nudity and extreme violence. Thank you, "Opie".
I was totally engrossed in the story and believed that Dr. Nash was truly a genius and the "bad guys" were trying to stop him from breaking the codes. The makeup used in the "aging" process was so realistic. I think everyone connected with the movie is to be applauded for their efforts.
