Nicholson makes the movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2012)

This American Drama is definitely another history maker. It takes an unbelievable topic and turns it into a gripping story. A criminal who is sentenced to time in jail convinces everyone that he is indeed insane and therefore sent to a mental institution. He thinks it will be all comfy and cozy but he sure is in for a "surprise. What's not interesting about that?! It causes the audience to love it even when it's wrong. It is outrageous but it works, mostly because of Jack Nicholson's wit. Nicholson's part really makes the movie, and although I haven't seen an overload of his movies, I think this is the best part he has played. The movie ends with a "downer" but it works and life goes on.
