Title: If you never read the book - three stars, if you read the book...
Product review: zero stars.As a standalone B-movie, it's very mediocre, but watchable. Low expectations are richly rewarded here.If you read Wambaugh's book, you will loathe the movie because it betrays your hopes and expectations so badly. No wonder Wambaugh wanted to have his name removed from the credits. The movie tears all the flesh away from his excellent book and keeps just a few bones.If you have not read the book, but "kinda" liked the movie, read the book. You are in for a huge treat. If you read the book, but have not seen the movie, that's as far as you need go. Or read the book again.
