Warren Steinberger says: "Woody. I actually thought he was a good actor. I didn't like the fact that he was a total drunk and wouldn't listen to them, then one scene later he was sober and doing everything he could to help. His transition felt rushed."
I don't quite know why he would say that. It was not character development, a drunk may behave quite differently when he is sober.
I have only seen the film on TV and never read the book. I did not find it so terrible but there certainly was not time enough to get to know most of the other children.
Interesting that a film that people think so little of still has 1933 reviews.
I have not seen or read the Battle Royal either and at one stage it got real boring when people were comparing these two films all the time.
