Synopsis
In one of the most memorable indictments of mental institutions, and a subtle examination of male anger, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (based on the novel by Ken Kesey) presents a biting, and ultimately tragic, satire. R.P. McMurphy, a misbehaving con who shirks authority, finds himself in an asylum after faking insanity to get out of work detail in prison. Once in, the vivacious troublemaker finds out he's in a worse kind of prison--one presided over by the repressed, terrifyingly quiet Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), whose taught set of rules and regulations are meant to suppress patients' psychotic outbursts, and their spirits. It's not long before McMurphy is reaching out to his new inmates, trying desperately to bring life to an otherwise dead atmosphere. He becomes the organizer of card games, tries to teach a huge Cree Indian, Chief Bromden (Will Sampson), to shoot baskets, and, when his efforts to allow the patients to see the World Series are thwarted, he mimics the game for his new friends. To Ratched, however, Nicholson's free spirit is as dangerous as a schizophrenic impulse. A disturbing, witty, and electrifying drama, and winner of the Best Picture Oscar, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is brilliantly acted by an ensemble that includes several future stars such as Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jack is Back and once again you are not left wanting - A Review By Ian MacDonald, 8 Oct 2006
By Mr. I. J. Macdonald - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Randal Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) a man with several assault charges to his name finds himself in jail once again when he is up for a statuary rape charge, when his 18 year old girlfriend actually turns out to be 15. Randal convinces the guards that he is too crazy for regular jail so he is put into a mental asylum where he and his fellow patients are up against their nemesis obstacle Nurse Ratched which turns out to be quite a story.
Once again Jack does not disappoint , he delivers the part all most too well, leaving the question pondering over in your head if he has a screw that is just not as tight as it should be in his mind. I think this just shows what a convincing actor he is. Very well directed and edited with a strong and compromising use of sound and soundtracks.

A must see for Jack fans, and a must see for anyone else
