They ruined it

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2016)

The story line is way different than the novel, and I think the changes ruined the movie! The obvious example would be that Rudy never actually knew about Max! Not to mention that he (Rudy) was never enrolled in the Elite Training. His father, Alex, refused, and as a result they took Alex to the army. And Rudy's death! I can't even describe how awful they managed it! There are a lot of lines in the novel that could be turned into legendary scenes, but for some reason they choose to omit them and show us some stupid scenes.
In summary, the novel is a masterpiece, but somehow they managed to turn it into a stupid movie that made little sense.
