so-so

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2006)

after reading mixed reviews (mostly negative) about the film, i finally decided to watch the movie with lower-than-usual expectations for a movie based on a great book. after approximately 2hours and 30 minutes, i got a little bored probably because it was kind of dragging.
all i can say is if you haven't read the book or was able to read it but didn't really understood the book, you will appreciate the movie. my parents, brothers, and friends who didn't read the book enjoyed the movie and thought of it as an OK thriller-mystery (ish) movie. however, if you love the book, you will most likely not appreciate the movie - which is a normal reaction of book fans once they've seen the movie version of a novel.
