As someone who really liked the book, and then reaaally liked the movie, I find it interesting that the criticism the movie is receiving here is for the very reasons I liked it so much (and this is not an attack on anyone's opinion, just my own thoughts):
- There was no justice in the film. Personally, I like stories when the bad guy gets away, or the hero dies in the end. It's a lot more like real life from our perspective while here on Earth.
- There is something to be said about the fact that the film "was not entertaining." I think that maybe that was the point.
