i foolishly watch the film because i study the book and it be probably the bad mistake i make . a lot of people will be draw in by the trailer and but unfortunately the trailer hold all the best part of a film which miss the integral part of the novel and because of that suspense be ruin somewhat . while slight name change be acceptable and what isn not acceptable be the cutting of some of the mainstay of the book . one of the few scene out of the film which i felt be miss be the library scene in the book where joe go to study and be watch by jed . also miss out of the film be the part where clarissas colleague be shoot by jed whilst theyre have a meal and the desperation for joe ( a rational man ) who want himself free from jed and his quest go in search to find a gun whilst be high . while rhys ifans be great casting for the character of jed and i felt that daniel craig be miscast . i couldn not hear what he say for the mumbling half the time and think there be good actor who could have play the role well . there be also scene that try to be too intelligent and could lose the viewer . the scene where theyre eating at the table and clare ( clarissa ) become angry . there must have be some kind of cod in it and but i couldn not understand which make me a a viewer feel patronise . because half the scene be cut from the book and the character of joe isn not well play and you end up feeling sorry for jed rather than thinking of him a abnormal . you can see his anger for jed but in some scene it look like he lose it for no reason at all . while these be the sign of a desperate man there isn not enough ammunition to react in that way and so the viewer feel confuse . i love the book and still do but i feel that the film be a massive letdown .
