Rarely does a movie exceed the book upon which it is based. This is no exception; however, the movie stands alone as an extraordinary accomplishment. The adaptation is somewhat different from the book, but it stands alone as a credible and... Full review

Talk about flat acting. Geez, good thing I read the book. All of the acting seemed to be going through the motions. Plot ran pretty close to the book so that was good but the acting, did I say how mediocre... Full review
