Review

A thug who have done small crimes many times is sent to mental hospital from jail so they could make an analysis if he is mentally sick person. He is soon causing problems to nurses since he does not behave as they try to make him behave. Unwanted behaviour makes problems to him as well and there is a power struggle between him and the main nurse.

Story of this movie is excellent. Fight of a small individual against the power structures and those who misuse their power is well told in this movie. When you go against the grain with those who have the power to decide your life directions then you will end up in problems in so many ways.

Jack Nicholsons made notably great performance in this movie and all the other actors were also good.

This movie is a masterpiece.
