ALREADY SEEN H'WOOD FLICK...

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2002)

...surprisingly, with some great acting (superb Jennifer Connelly and Russel Crowe).
So, do we have a classic here?
No. Sorry, Ron, you've should done better here. Needless to say, that I got nearly bored in first half an hour, but what I resent this movie the most, is the fact, that this is just another Hollywood "love-can-conquer-all" type of movie, what reminds me of a poor Pearl Harbor.
The movie should provide more, especially for the more demanding viewers, than just a simple love story. I had the feeling that the director just haven't enough courage, to show us the real John Nash. Like Oliver Stone did in magnificent J.F.K.

But, all in all, there are some bright things, which brings this movie above others (especially in this era, when H'wood is in crisis). Brilliant schizophrenic scenes, some good turnovers, nice camera-movement and above mentioned casting crew.
Sadly, that isn't enough to give this movie a higher grade than a mediocre
7 out of 10.
