Great to hear! I knew my favorite novel of 2014 had rousing potential for screen adaptation, but feared the studio could totally screw it up. Whew!
Oh, you have nothing to worry about. I have not read the book but the film is fantastic!
Joseph, great review. I’m glad you liked it! It’s one I was hoping would be better than average.
Thanks so much, Cindy! It really is quite great. I’m sure you’ll have fun watching this oneπ.
Awesome review, I’m glad to hear about Ridley’s return to form. I’m excited for this one.π
Thanks! It’s undeniably captivating, but most importantly, entertaining! You’ll definitely enjoy this one.
Super excited for this. Great review!
Your excitement is well-placed! Thanks for reading.
Good stuff, a really well written review of a film I’m very much looking forward to. By the looks of it it’s a good job I like Damon!!
