A diabolical adaptation of Alex Garlands Novel

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2000)

Unlike the book, I found this film a no. 10 on the Sore Bum scale and couldn't wait for it to finish so I could leave the cinema and stretch my legs.
The first half was pretty faithful to the book, that is until the main characters reached the Beach. It was from this point the story took on a mind of its own and any similarities to the novel vanished. The absence of two major characters from the book didn't help either.
I think anyone who has read the book with absolutely hate this film.
