I waited YEARS for this book to become a movie , then waited months for it to come out in big screen, then counted the hours until I was able to go see it........and then counted the seconds for this Aweful dissapointment to be over.
Where to begin....first off there were so many flashbacks in the first half of the movie that I completely lost track of the story (and that's even after being an avid fan of the book , I can only imagine what the normal viewer is suffering through) besides for the fact that there were too many flashbacks , the flashbacks were so different in nature that it totally threw you off! There were flashbacks within flashbacks, flashbacks that only went back a few months , flashbacks that audio began before the actual flashback ......to sum up in one word ....CONFUSING. I know a lot of ppl would berate me for giving an Oscar worthy performance by Steve carrol a 2 but it had nothing to do with him, the movie focuses on the wrong parts of the story l, and the viewer doesn't develop an emotional connection to nick!
Bottom line the movie isn't as good as the book ( it almost never is but it could definitely be closer then this was)
