I went into this production with low expectations

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2009)

...not perfect, but truly an underrated gem
I am unfamiliar with any of the actors which for the purposes of the disposing of preconceptions, I become more attached to the story and cast.
I must say that not only is the acting right but the element of chemistry between and among characters is superb.
my only complaint and this really is knit picking is when during a couple of scenes the camera speeds up the action which by all accounts happens a total of 15 seconds. besides this subjective flaw, I find myself wanting more and feeling very engaged with the cast. I've chosen not to read the series due to my objections to disappointing pop literature; after, however seeing such a fine film, I might just pick them up.
