My very brief opinion

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2006)

After having read the book and watched the movie, my final opinion is that while it is a good and entertaining movie, it is not a good adaptation. The first half of the movie was nearly dead on in story and plot from the book. However, in the second half, I think that it fell apart. There was no more suspense for me. It seemed to be reaching for believability and falling short. I felt that they left out key important information the helped to make the story believable.
If you HAVE NOT read the book, this is a good movie to see.
If you HAVE read the book, please watch this movie with a grain of salt and remember Hollywood often butchers literary works.
