Enjoyed it. But...................................

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2005)

I really enjoyed this movie. It kept to the book quite a bit; although it did leave me wanting more. I only had one problem with it and it's to do with one of the scenes. It's the scene right after the Christmas incident. Swofford is yelling at Fergus and telling him to shot him, when in the book Swofford is contemplated killing himself and going as far as sticking the gun in his mouth, only to have Troy walk in on him and stop him. I think this was a very powerful part in the book and i really wish it was put on screen. Jake Gyllenhaal in the Santa hat made me happy too (what can i say). Over all great movie, most likely will be a contender at the Oscars.
