not a particularly good movie, but its worth watching for the interesting plot, work of Feynman and Hurt's great acting depicting it...

It's an interesting story, with a slightly flat presentation

Not a great piece of film-making, but fascinating none the less and competently made for what it is. Feynman was a great man, and an intriguing character. Combine that with a fine actor like William Hurt, who's performance is excellent and a compelling subject matter, and the result is a recommended if fairly basic factual drama.
