So I finally told myself I should sit down and watch this film that so many people have badmouthed, yet had gotten so much attention last May. I read the book about a year and a half ago, and I remember most of what happened, so that obviously took an influence in my thoughts on the film.
In essence, the film is like flat cola, it seems sweet and that it has potential, but it really has no buzz going on. I admit I couldn't even get through the whole thing. I got to 1.5/2.5 hours, and decided that the film really wasn't going to change in pace or do anything quite interesting that I haven't read before, so I decided not to waste another hour of my time ( I have valuable other things to watch, haha).
The film is really a paint-by-number depiction. The cinematography is too damn dark, and moody lighty, that just makes it confusing to see what's going on. The direction is also non-existent. I say save your time and don't watch it.
