I know that you can't get as much information into a 90 minute film as you can in a 400 page book, however this film disapointed me.
Lets move away from the book because the film is quite a good watch.
Clint Eastwood stars as Terry McCaleb, an ex police investigator. After leaving the force in need of a heart transplant, McCaleb finds himself on the case of a shooting in a corner shop.
With the help of his trusted friend Noone he investigates into a few different murders which he believes to be linked. The film sways into the usual police investigation movie, far-fetched clues begin to appear as to why the murder had taken place.
At this point I am actually realising that I have forgotten the main body of the plot. Most of the details I am thinking of are actually from the book. The plot changed dramatically and the killer ended up to be a completely different person.
The film is well staged though, the characters are intoduced well and parts of the story allow you to get an insight into some really good background information.
I would definately rent this film, I rented it from Blockbusters - £2.95 for two nights.
But make sure you definately buy the book, read the book after you've seen the film and you will be much happier with the plot development. - Sorry to waste your time.
I say that I would recommend that you see the film, just so that it will be interesting to compare the two.
