It's OK, not THAT good though...

Rating: 5/10 (2 October 2005)

I saw this movie expecting to see Ron Howard at his best. Instead I got him at his NOT SO BEST. The movie was good, don't get me wrong, it's just not THAT good. I was really shocked that (enter spoiler here) Ed Harris and that English dude were not real. That was surprising to me. Also, I heard that Mr. Nash is a gay man kind of? Or at least he "experimented"? That was LEFT OUT of the film. I liked the way Russell Crowe didn't play a TOUGH GUY in this. Instead, he played a quirky kind of nutcase. He jitters, he mutters and he rambles about stuff. The makeup to make him look OLD was very interesting. I was astonished at that!! All in all, I wish I had seen this earlier. I was in Tulsa all weekend and am kind of woozey as I write this.
