    Superb movie. The scene when father comes home from hospital is why I rate this movie as great acting.

    I am obsessed with endings. I think, ultimately, that's all audiences really care about when they form their opinion on a movie. Flash of Genius' ending (which I won't say), simply undercuts the whole theme / message / point of the story. Even if it's true to history, which I respect, it left me feeling like this was a waste of my time.

    Good film about windshield wipers. Kinda falls apart and drifts off into something else in the second half.
  • Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
    unpleasant biopic that forgets to get you to care about it's characters beyond their situation.

    This is a great movie that's based on a true story. Greg Kinnear and the rest of the cast did an excellent job in this movie. The plot to the movie is great. It's about fighting for what's yours and never giving up no matter how long it takes. People should see this movie because it would inspire people to get what they want in life and never let anyone get in their way or let them say it can't be done. Check it out. It's worth seeing.

    I thought this was a pretty good movie

    Indeed, I have to agree this would have worked better for TV and not the theatres. They took something with potential and turned it into something bland and forgettable. Too many loose ends and unexplained things.

    The "Rotten" score for this film is completely unjustified, and any assertion that the film is "too technical" is nonsense. Those who complain about the "boringness" of the subject matter were never meant to be the audience anyway, and they can stick to their mindless action movies. I think Greg Kinnear's portrayal of Robert Kearns was highly convincing, and felt moved multiple times throughout by the weightiness of the dilemmas his family faced.
