This is an enjoyable enough movie, but fans of the book will most likely be sorely disappointed. There is little effort made to capture the mood of the novel, but instead turns this into an action movie filled with heroes and villains and people meeting their deserved end. Worth watching if it’s on TV, but not worth making an effort to see.
