Genius

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2014)

Cannot watch this film enough times. It runs the gamut of emotions. Makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you mad, gives you faith. Truly great acting by all cast members. Nicholson is at his very best. The ending was perfect. Not sure that if they were to make the film now it would end but I think that makes the film more real. Danny De Vito is great. Josep Elic is memorable. the card game is absolute class. Sydney Lassick is masterful. Christopher Lloyd albeir ina slightly cameo role is at his very best (perhaps matched by his role in taxi). William duell is excellent as Sefelt and is reminiscent of Stan Laurel. However, other than Jack Nicholson, it really is Brad Dourif as Billy Bibbit who steals the show. I would class his as one one of the most memorable characters from any film I have watched over the past forty years. Cannot praise it enough
