Having read many of the other reviews for this film on the IMDb there is ostensibly a consensus amongst purists that this film is nothing like the books upon which it is based
 but it's not. The film has a great cast and the film's plot is well developed and well-acted. It's a film that is not to be missed.
. The film's plot is a bit convoluted, the acting is poor, and the story is not very interesting. I have to say that I was very disappointed with the film. It is very hard to believe that a film like this could be made in the first place.
