Not so much like the book, but hacked a new path for the making...(spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2003)

If I could truthfully say, Robert Ludlum would be proud. I would be lying, to a extent. With many holes, including the fact that Marie is actullay a accountant which is, 'methodical' instead of a gypsy. That Jason and Marie form a bond as she was rudly raped. The fact that her brother was killed is no 'biggie'. No, not at all. But I did enjoy it. They had a very intense view. If I never read the book, I wouldn't know and be on the same page as Jason, wondering who the hell is this strange man. Running for his life. I like the way they kept it a brainy novel, to the Hotel, bank, mourge, all the same. Indeed they had to modernize it, for anyone who read the novel. There was no laser, it was a micro filment that can only be seen with a rusty projector. The Doctor's name was all wrong, Geoffry Washburn to Groncial (something like that) is totally wrong. What about wiring the good doctor his 1 million dollars? So many things left out, things that matter. Marie and Jason, never ever leave each other in the book. Jason kidnaps Marie, she isn't offered money, just if she helps him, she keeps her life. Overall, the closeness to the book and the author's wishes, a very very low: 2. But excitement: 9. Genre: 10. So-saw-that-coming: 5. Total: 6.5 I've seen better maybe another one, 'The Bourne Supremacy' will get a higher score.
