Adaptation??? Call it, bad re-invention...

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2008)

This was a disappointment... What a terrible movie... Did someone in that crew actually read the book?? Because it seems as they didn't or forgot most of it... Missing characters, wrong names, misplaced actions and characters, missing plot points... And I could go on... The book actually scares you at some parts and almost leaves you without a drop of blood, it really sucks you into the story... This movie? Just a bad attempt... The only credible character, among the bad performances, was Ed Harris's Broussard (that's how it's written)... Morgan Freeman did not deserve this... He is an amazing actor, who got himself tangled in this mess... Honestly, if you like reading, I strongly recommend that you read the book. Dennis Lehane is a great writer and would have never written this plain and weird story... Ben Affleck, please stop trying to direct without Matt Damon. I've already saw were's the talent in that friendship... And also, stop destroying literature...
