Movie review
I would rate this movie 7 out of 10 stars. The characters were depicted well, but the movie was saturated with information. The dialogue was loaded with key facts essential to the viewer's understanding of the plot, so if you zoned out for a minute, the screenplay had moved on, and you were left with a sense of confusion. Towards the end, the plot was clearer, and the events were easier to understand, but the dialogue was still stuffed with important information. The acting and setting were good, and the visual effects really helped set the stage for the movie. The movie was definitely like the book, and Alan J. Pakula (the director) did a great job conveying the plot to the viewer. Overall, this movie was worth watching, and I would recommend it to someone who thinks the book sounds interesting, but does not have the time to read it, or someone who greatly enjoyed the book.
