Didn't read the book... hopelessly lost.

Rating: 2/10 (5 February 2012)

I seriously couldn't make sense of this movie. It appeared that the actors, a very good cast by any standard, were turning in a great performance; but the numerous flash-backs destroyed what little continuity existed for me. In the end it felt like something may have happened, but I wasn't sure what it was. Most shooting is done closeup. This style of shooting may have contributed to lack of continuity, there simple wasn't enough context shots to lend a sense of place and time. Audio was also a problem, the mix of barely audible dialog and over imposing music, which added little. If you have not read the book, you should think twice before see this movie.
