i have read the book by john grisham and i be not greatly impress by his work . but the book be a worth read and it have some nice moment and the mood throughout the book be good . i expect a good adaptation of the book in this movie even though the rating be below 6. but what i saw be the opposite . right from the start there have be many change in the plot . i do understand the movie would have be more boring if adam and sam have be just talk most of the time but it make sense in the book and the movie be senseless . a few character in the book be totally miss here and some new character have spring up from nowhere which r not in the book . i do not like the casting of sam a well . if u like the book and so be it and don watch this movie . even if u din like the book and don watch it . it be no way near the book .
