Regarded as one of the top rated movies, I must be honest, I was bored. Not because it is a bad movie, but because the premise simply did not interest me.

Let's face it; I hated mathematics at school. So, watching a movie about a brilliant mathematician is not exactly my idea of a good time with a movie. Throw in the spy element with mystery, action and adventure, and there's a twinkling in my eye. Sadly, this was merely our hero's mind playing tricks on him. Or quite bluntly, losing his mind.

Based on fact, I suppose it would not have made an interesting movie if it wasn't for John Nash's imaginary world. Once I realized it was all just his schizophrenia talking, I lost interest and it was ultimately boring. The ending was probably supposed to give me goosebumps, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. I was only toot happy it (finally) ended. This is a very long movie, and also a very slow moving one.

Make no mistake, this is a very well made film with good dialogue and acting. Russell Crowe and Ed Harris in particular were very good.
