entertain but flaw screen version of dafoe novel . kingston be excellent a flanders and the rest of the cast do well also . the claustrophobic set and many close in shot add to the personal ( and earthy . ) nature of the story . the only problem i have with the movie be the pacing ( i do not read the book and but most movie base on book seem to have this same problem ) . some sequence be give too much screen time and other element be gloss over . the theme be give more importance than the story and which be a shame because there be some really good thing here .
