this be one of my favorite film of all time . i read the book and like it and but this movie expand on everything the book make famous . the acting be fantastic and especially from jon voight and who play mr. sir and a very evil character . this film have a certain way of storytelling that keep you hook throughout and until the end where everything be pull together for a great end . i also love the way this be direct and by flash back and forth between the modern day and stanley ancestor story . the story be write by louis sachar and yes and but it seem that this story be make for film and and andrew davis do a great job direct it . i definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoy good movie .
