Genius

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 1999)

The Academy snubbed THIS? Easily the best film of 97, and one of the best in this decade. Exceptional performances from all, particularly Russell Crowe. He and Guy Pearce made a brilliant duo. It was a shock to see Babe's Farmer Hoggett as a bad guy, though. This film should have won everything last year, but more importantly, everyone should have seen it.
