Nothing except the protagonist's name of the novel

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2016)

Since I've read all of the novels with the leading character, Bob Lee Swagger, I really don't know how, where and which this film had adapted from Stephen Hunter's novels. If just followed what the film's storyline, script, scenarios and the plot twists, it simply looked more like James Thayer's "White Star".
I strongly believed that the screenwriter(s) had goofed the hero's name from Stephen Hunter's novels, but 80% of it was actually stolen and extracted from James Thayer's novel instead. I do think that this movie's product people should pay him 80% of the movie right fee and 10% to Hunter to borrow the more widely known character's name.
This movie is not bad but the scenarios and the twists simply not quite possible and highly unlikely to ring true. Directing, acting and special effect are all pretty good.
