7/10
decent but not great
31 March 2004
saw this after reading the novel, (was forced to due to a college class) and i found this to be a rather decent translation. (much better than talented mr. ripley) It maybe your stereotypical stupid teen movie (eventhough the characters are not teenaged) Jeremy Davies was perfectly casted as Williard 'Sonny' Burns. Ben Affleck also makes a decent 'Gunner'

the use of red in the film also made it more enjoyable

i'd say its a 7/10 (but a 9/10 in the category of novel to movie film adaptations)
