Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2002)

A Beautiful Mind **** Ron Howard has finally found his masterpiece in "A beautiful Mind," a heartbreaking, inspirational, and sometimes surprising film about John Nash, a Noble Prize mathematician with a severe case o schizophrenia. Russell Crowe gives a brilliant performance in the title role, and Jennifer Connely and the always-great Ed Harris turn in first rate turns as well. But the real star is Howard, who actually takes us inside the mind of Nash and makes sure to keep us involved, something rarely done in these type of films
