Great acting performances from everybody

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2013)

R.P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) has been sent to the mental institution for evaluation. He's in prison for statutory rape of a 15 year old girl. He has a history of fights and assault charges. The prison thinks he's faking to get out of work details. Inside the mental institution, he finds a whole range of people with disorders, and one controlling Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher).
Jack Nicholson is a rebellious man who's itching to break out of the oppressive dictatorship of nurse Ratched. Louise Fletcher is completely cold hearted, and projects great interior anger. It's all on her face. This is a movie of great performances from everybody. It's not just Nicholson and Fletcher. Everybody is spot on. There isn't a false note being struck.
