The only thing greater then the power of the mind is the courage of the heart

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2012)

This Best Picture Oscar winner is based on the real life of Mathmatician John Nash who won a Nobel Prize for his work yet was constantly challenged by his mental illness of Schitzophrenia, we see Russell Crowe take the lead role and as usual he does not disappoint. In fact the acting in this movie is pretty much flawless and very well cast. Jennifer Connelly (winner of Best Supporting Actress Oscar) is fantastic as the loving yet somewhat emotionally drained wife.
This movie does take a fair while to really get going and for those of us who didn't get the highest mark in maths at school a lot of the jargon will go over our heads. But be patient by about the 40 min mark things start falling into place and the pace goes up a couple of gears with a few twist and turns along the way.
The Cinematography is beautiful thru out so I have no complaints there. In fact I don't have many complaints at all its pretty much a flawless movie thou for me it just misses out on the full 10 marks because as previously stated there's a lot of things that went over my head and it takes a while to gain a decent pace. I would def recommend it to fans of Biopics and Drama.
If You like movies such as 'The Aviator' 'Good Will Hunting' and the 'Bourne'series then you should enjoy this movie and vice versa if you enjoy the movie and after something similar those mentioned would be a good place to start.
Thanks for reading really hope you enjoy this movie.
