Overall, oddly paced and ones patience could be tested, Genius<\/em><\/strong> is a movie that excels more on the cast than the actual story. Jude Law is fine as Wolfe though the highlight is Colin Firth and even a small appearance by Guy Pearce as F. Scott Fitzgerald; it\u2019s just a shame this didn\u2019t get a wider distribution. The DVD released through Lionsgate offers fine video\/audio transfers and a couple featurettes.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
