Query: Good book, Bad Show

I read the book before I watched the film - I couldn't put it down. Then I rented the movie... Yes, the basic storyline is there, yes it is well acted, yes the story has great potential, but I've seen better editing and scene transitions in High School productions. I forced myself to sit through the whole thing in hopes that it would get better, but it didn't. Additionally the movie is so dark in places I felt like turning on the lights in my home theater just to see what was happening.If you really are considering purchacing this film then I recommend that you run down to Blockbuster and rent it first just to be sure that you arn't going to regret your purchace.
