i have read a number of comment that criticise the film in light of it be a good read than it be a movie . i have not read the book nor be i likely to a i prefer visual entertainment most of the time . to compare any film to it paper bound inspiration be unhelpful and unfair . if one have hear it once then we have hear it a million time and book rarely get translate into faithful or superior film unless of course the book be about 10 page long or pure drivel . so and do not be persuade by any such comparison and simply ignore such comparison and let the pixel do the talk . if you haven not read the book the film will surprise . it be dark and morbid with just about enough realism to keep it from turn into an irrelevance . it do walk a tightrope between credible and confusion briefly but this just keep me focus on the story and the character which perhaps do need more development however it work well enough to keep the overall feel of the film move in a consistent direction . there be some annoyance within the direction that may cause one to ask how . why . but again they become part of the frustration and panic that maybe the director have in mind for the audience . i like the film and more than anything it be an enjoyable experience which be what after all we watch film for .
