Cool movie but if you know the story of John Nash then it won't surprise you.

Just saw it last night and loved it. Another outstanding performance by Russell Crowe. Excellent script, fine acting by Jennifer Connelly (she's also in Requiem for a Dream) and Ed Harris. The 140 minutes just seem to fly by and at the end you want more...

I don't know the story of John Nash (or didn't until I saw the movie) - and thought it was great. I didn' t know what would happen, and it has a great twist. Definite thumbs up - worth paying to see in the theater.

I agree with the Russell Crowe comments. Everybody raved about him in Gladiator and while entertaining, I thought he was just another action-hero type actor. But he is very, very good and convincing in A Beautiful Mind. This guy is good and for real. I look forward to seeing him in other roles.

I agree, "The Insider" is a great film. It is very involving and the acting performances standout.
