This Flick In Brief


Another piece of solid filmmaking from director Ron Howard, (Cocoon, Apollo 13, Ransom), this loose biopic covers the life of brilliant mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. (Russell Crowe), as he not only flexes his mind mathematically, but also uncovers terrifying layers of his own psyche.

Set primarily in the 1950s, A Beautiful Mind is a captivating and cerebral film in which Russell Crowe delivers his best work, and is sure to leave the viewer somewhat mentally unsettled and appreciating the simple word, 'sanity'.
