Glad to hear it is a good adaptation. Looks like they changed a fair bit from the book but that's not always the worst thing. I love Keaton in anything and the guy playing Rapp is a good actor as well.

i haven't seen it, but probably will with my FiL as we each alternate buying the new books and swapping. kind of a fun tradition.

i'm cool with them changing the start to make it a bit less dated as long as you keep the core foundation of Rapp's motives, cold demeaner in tact. Similar to how i feel about GoT vs the books.

i do remember when this was being floated a few years ago i thought that they would swap Irene out for a black lady, and it turns out they did. i don't care one iota, but it's funny how predictable Hollywood is.
