A competently made movie but hardly Oscar worthy

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2002)

It was only when I left the Cinema that I realised I'd been in there for nearly 2.25hrs, so that must be a sign that the movie wasn't dragging, however to me this wasn't a movie worthy of Oscar nominations.
Russell Crowe certainly acts a different role to his 'Gladiator' one, but personally I couldn't identify much with either his genius in economic theory (which was perhaps 30 seconds of the film) or why he was worthy of a residential ivy league professorship when acting barking mad.
Entertaining but not great cinema.
