I remember reading this book and thinking what an amazing Movie it
would make. With the right cast and script I knew this could be a
winner. I waited for someone to make it and finally they did.
We were getting John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson. How could they not
make an amazing movie.
I waited eagerly to view this long anticipated adventure and thought
the day would never arrive when I could get the chance to see it.
Then I did.
Firstly it has very little in common with the book I read. the book is
very clever and draws you into the story. The movie is not clever and
the story is thrown at us.
In The book we care about all the characters. In the movie we don't.
I have to admit I walked out before the end. I just couldn't take
anymore.
Why oh why did they not just stick to the books narrative.
I know you have to cut corners but they didn't cut corners, they
invented new corners that had nothing to do with the story.
I love Stephen King and have read all of his books but I'm tired of
seeing them butchered by Movie makers who just don't understand the
story.
Save your money. Don't even bother renting this movie.
