Edited on Thu Jun-15-06 02:36 AM by BlueIris
The problem? Aside from the melodramatic, disrespectful, ahistorical depiction of John Nash and his life, the shitty direction and the obnoxious ending? Russell Crowe. Worst. Performance. Ever. ACK. SO bad. And it's badness entirely overshadowed the work of the otherwise good-to-excellent performances in the rest of the talented supporting cast.
