Don't Watch If You've Read the Book

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2015)

If hadn't read the book I would have probably given the movie a five, but because I actually did read the book, I am only giving this a one. There are so many plot holes in the movie and a majority of the books key moments were left out. Overall, it takes away from the film and it is very disappointed. In the novel, the relationship between the main character and Rudy is very important and it is really downplayed in the movie. **Spoiler** Then when he dies in the end of the movie it does not have the same emotionally charged effect that it should have. There was a dramatic build up, that was successful in the book, but then on screen you are left wanting something more. On screen, the character development is lacking and you do not feel connected to any of the characters.
