Well made and linear

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2013)

Very good the Javier Bardem's interpretation and the way in which identifies himself with the part, maybe sometimes the movie is too much bloody but all in all is a good cinematic representation of the book. This is, in fact, one of the best book-to-film adaptations I've ever seen, both in terms of a close following of the text, and in terms of playing out the author's intentions rather than undermining or erasing them. But the book instead, it's more thematically consistent, thanks to the Bell interludes, which open, close, and space out the book, making it more clearly about him and his conviction that America is falling apart, becoming the kind of place where fellows like him just don't belong.
