Beware: this movie may cause suicidal impulses. - A Beautiful Mind Reviews

This movie seemed enticing and thrilling in previews, but like shallow people, once the first layer is peeled off there is nothing left to reveal, leaving the viewers feeling bored and cheated out of eight bucks. Russell Crowe may be a fine actor, but not in this role. First of all, it is simply not feasible to have him start as a 20 or even 30 some year old. Secondly, because of his thick Austrialian accent, he is unable to pose realistically as a native of mid-Southern United States. Also his love scenes with Jennifer Connelly made me literally feel physically ill-they do not belong together onscreen. Overall this movie was slow, insipid, and painful to watch.
