Russell Crowe brilliantly plays John Nash in this true story of John Nash, a mathematical genius who is diagnosed with schizophrenia and goes on to receive the prestigious Nobel Prize. Performances from the two leading stars, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly are absolutely brilliant. They definitely deserved there Oscar nominations as did the Ron Howard who directed the movie and Akiva Goldsman who wrote the screenplay. Adam Goldberg also gives a good performance here in a supporting role. A Beautiful Mind is a touching and interesting movie which is really great and I give it a 10/10.
