This has only the vaguest connection to the book. The names are the same, just about everything else has been modified out of all recognition. Coincidentally I read the book a few weeks ago. It's a subtle & quite unnerving book, a black comedy really, with no heroes, just people enmeshed in a fallen world of deceit & corruption.
There's very little dialogue, until near the end, when it all bursts like a suppurating boil. This obviously makes it difficult to adapt, but is no excuse for wholesale butchery; frankly if that's the best the adaptor can do he'd best just leave it. The acting was OK, but there was some poor casting. Overall a waste of everyone's time.
