Not bad but the books better!

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2000)

I have been eager to see this movie after reading the book earlier in the year. The press in my country wasn't too kind about it on it's release and I was mid-way through the book at this time so wasn't able to judge myself. However, yesterday I watched it on DVD and thought that it was a watchable movie but not outstanding. My advice, for what it's worth is, if you have read the book don't put yourself out to see it. If you haven't read the book then you will probably quite enjoy it. PS. I thought the Leo as a computer game scene was awful and unnecessary.
