Yet another critically acclaimed film for me to watch, and yet another positive review from this film blog. It started a little slowly and the main concept (of a genius janitor) is shaky at best, but the rest of the film makes up for it. Damon and Affleck's screenplay is well written and flows brilliantly, with just enough comedy to keep the film away from being too serious.
Whilst Affleck puts in a forgettable performance Damon is brilliant as Will Hunting the aforementioned janitor prodigy who is one of the most complicated characters in anyone of the films I've seen this year, and Robin Williams pulls of the same sort of role he did with such panache in Dead Poets Society as the mentor of the dangerously precocious Will.
The soundtrack was excellent, with the Elliott Smith songs used: Between The Bars, No Name #3, Angeles, Say Yes, and Miss Misery all put in the perfect places (and yes I did half just watch for the Elliott Smith songs).
What. A. Movie.
