Premise
The biography of John Nash, a brilliant, but schizophrenic mathematician.

Who should watch
People who want to watch some excellent acting.

Thoughts
It was a well-acted film. I definitely liked the cast and the story twists were pretty interesting. However, it just lacked that 'oomph' factor.

There were some public complaints that Nash's wife's character should have been played by a Puerto Rican instead of the beautiful Jennifer Connelly. I was okay with the casting because the character's race was not a factor in moving the plot. Frankly, this complaint was not worth the hype.

What I would change
Changed the pacing and camera angles during the schizophrenia scenes to give a bigger sense of danger to the characters.
