Review of Flash of Genius (2008) by Jonathanc — 03 Oct 2011

Its not a movie that stands out in any way and if it was not for Kinear's decent acting (not incredible, but decent), the movie would have done far worse. Kinear definitely carried out his portrayal to make the film believable and there are some other saving performances.

The movie makes a visible lifte when Alan Alda makes his appearance. Also on the plus, it was shot well and pacing was acceptable. On the negative side, its predictable and a little too toned down. To quote a character "Let's tone down the language.

" (against Ford). The movie could have listed the countless other inventors marginalized and by corporations and could have made a much stronger statement.
