Review of A Beautiful Mind. The mind is a dangerous place.

A Beautiful Mind, directed by Ron Howard and starring Russel Crowe, is a biopic about the famous John Forbes Nash Jr. and his life. I was glad that finally someone was able to create a biopic that wasn't too short not giving enough information or too long to the point of boredom. Clocking in at two hours and sixteen minutes, A Beautiful Mind was the perfect length, keeping viewers interested with a thick and complex plot and good dialouge. Ron Howard was obviously at the top of his game here with fantastic direction, almost as good as Apollo 13, which was one of his best films. Oh, Russel Crowe, we can't forget about him either. He gives a powerhouse performance here, his absolute best. Better than Gladiator, better than American Gangster, anything you could think of, I could fight back with something from here. He takes on the character of John Nash so well that by the end it would be believable to think that he was Nash. Just fantastic. Alongside him were Jennifer Connely and Ed Harris, who both fill their roles well too.
The Verdict:
A Beautiful Mind is not for the weak minded. It is a complex film that takes many twists and turns. But if you can understand it you'll have a great time watching a great film. I give it five super cool British roommates out of five. 5/5.
