Excellent reimagining of a classic

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2019)

I studied this book in high school and while it's hardly my favourite book I was fascinated by the way it was able to persuade the reader to side with the immoral. The movie was definitely able to capture the essence of the story exceptionally, the score and the acting were fantastic but the biggest flaw it had was casting Tobey Maguire. Maybe it's because I'm too used to seeing him as Spiderman, and it's definitely not a criticism of his acting because he did a great job but there was something about him that held the movie back
