A disappointing wait

Rating: 3/10 (4 January 2008)

I waited patiently for 1 years for this film to come out, and in that time i took the liberty to read the book, as it was the first i had heard about it. I would say that the book is fantastic, and a really good insight into the psychological mind of a man that is isolated.
The film fails for me in too many points, the most being that the story is too haphazard, asking more questions at nearly every scene. This may sound clichéd, but the book is too good for this film.
This i feel was a great opportunity to really test a challenging book, and engage the audience in a psychological manner, similar to that of saw 1.
The acting was in itself acceptable, and will smith did well to portray some sense of loneliness, but nevertheless, i feel let down, indeed i believe it to be my fault to have read the book!! You will like it if you haven't had the pleasure of reading the novel
