Doesn't do what it says on the tin!

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2002)

"Brilliant", "inspiring", "Best film ever", are just some of the things I've seen written or heard said about this movie, but I'm sorry to say it lives up to none of the hype! This isn't a bad movie, more an average one, although a lot of people will lead you to believe that it's amazing and awe inspiring!
Lets just look at the facts, it's supposed to be a true story-about the only truth is there is somebody called John Nash! Crowe didn't give a particularly "GREAT" performance, and the Direction was nothing to be getting excited about either!
In my opinion don't bother renting this movie, get "Shine" instead-far better movie and Geoffrey Rush gives a far better performance in it than Crowe gives in "A beautiful mind"!
5/10
