The Movie is Fine but should lead you to the book

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2014)

The ending was made knowingly and upon request to not include his life after war. It seems this is the biggest criticism of the movie. Since I knew this coming in, I liked the movie. I did not love it but I liked it very much. I also disagree with the reviews on here criticizing the acting. No, that was wonderful on all accounts. The movie did tend to lag on brutality so watch bringing the little ones. However, that is part of Louie's story. The movie is meant to be mainstream Hollywood and no where comes close to the book's inspirational levels. How about enjoying both for the different genres they are? You will not be disappointed if you see the book and movie as separate genres with different goals.
