Surprisingly enthralling

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2002)

As a typical fan of non-intellectual action films such as DieHard, but also able to appreciate the nuances of such films as The Scent of Green Papaya, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this movie, but willing to give it a shot. I was surprised as to how intense the movie was, and how absorbed I was by Russell Crowe's adaptation of the life of John Nash.
Ron Howard's cinematography is predictably brilliant, and the subtle special effects are incredible.
