Nurse Ratched meets her match

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2006)

This is the story of Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) as he enters a mental institution. In the institution, he meets Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), a cruel, unyielding nurse who makes life unbearable for the patients. After McMurphy has a few run ins with Ratched, he is sent for shock treatments, and war breaks out on ward.
This is an intense movie with some great performances all around. It is creepy and has all the earmarks of a great movie. The soundtrack is great, and the script is good.
I give this movie an eight out of ten because of the stellar performances and the great plot!
