A well made film, but nothing special

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2003)

Don't get me wrong. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest was a very good movie, one of the few I gave a 10. The film was very well made, well acted, well casted, and, though it is a simple story, it not only won Oscars, it won our hearts (which "Driving Miss Daisy" supposedly did, though I hated that film). Some people might not like it, but I give it a 10. (The Indian guy who played Nickleson's institution-mate and killer was a native local Park Ranger where the film was shot, the crew thought he looked good for the part, so he played it and went on to an even larger acting career.)
