Give it a 7 out of 10. Not the gripping tale I expected it to be, but still worth seeing. It's a true story so trying to hit the highlights of a life between 1947 (college years) and 1994 when the story ends doesn't give enough details in some places to follow what's actually happening sometimes.
John Nash is a remarkable guy, however, and what he accomplished is significant in the long run. Russell Crowe is a mathematics nerd in this one, good acting and no trace of THE GLADIATOR macho guy. Ed Harris has a large role and is good, too. Sometimes hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys, but that's what makes it interesting.
