The book is pretty good. I'd imagine they cut or deemphasized a lot of it for the movie.

I've heard the movie is almost painfully formulaic, reminiscent of those Disney sports movies from the 2000s.

According to the book author it was mainly the time line that they change on how the events went down. I read an interview with him discussing the difference and how he worked with Clooney.
