great adaptation from book

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2015)

as a die-hard king fan for 30 years, i have routinely been disappointed in the movies based on his books. this is quite possibly the best movie adaptation i've seen. overall, i was impressed with the performances of all the characters.
maybe the only thing i wasn't clear about or didn't understand was the fact that some of the guards had accents that didn't seem to be louisianian. the accents seemed to be more boston-ish. however, it has been a while since i've read the books so maybe i'm forgetting a detail or two.
ultimately, i recommend this movie to any stephen king fan, and to anyone in general! it's excellent!!
