My Response: Flash of Genius looks like a nice project for Greg Kinnear to showcase his acting talents. With this film being the directorial debut of Marc Abraham, I wouldn't get my hopes up too much in terms of award shows, but I think Kinnear will be able to carry the movie and show some of his acting skills that he wasn't allowed to in the past due to limited character development. Rent it for sure.
