ian mcewan novel endure love tell a complex story that touch on the nature of human relationship . but on read it and i be also strike by how much like a thriller it seem and with it plot centre on a character who undergo an experience both frightening and unusual while in fact and so unusual that it isolate him from others and force him to handle it alone and with an ever increase sense of paranoia . so it not so surprising to see it now adapt a a movie . in fact and the central thriller be downplay compare to the book and this be not necessarily a bad thing and a that part of the story be relatively one dimensional ( in the way that thriller often be ) and whereas it the hinterland of this tale that be more ambiguous and interesting . and the mood and theme of the novel and with it rationalist narrator and be ably reflect in the movie and with daniel craig excellent a a very un bondish protagonist . director roger michell show a generally sure touch and though in place the score be a little intrusive . while the compressed plot be a mixed blessing represent the book and i thought and go on too long in the same vein while but equally and make a little more sense than the shortened version here . an element of playfulness present in the text have also fail to transfer to the screen . but it still an intelligent rendition of a story that could easily have be butcher while and a modest success .
