Title: SEE THE MOVIE INSTEAD
Review: I know, I know. Most people, myself included, would often opine "the book was better than the movie". Not this time, I'm sorry to say.The movie kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The book might better be used to prop UP a seat.George Clooney and Marky Mark? "Give me a break you say"? Yeah, but it works. Who would have thunk itIt's not that Junger isn't a competent author. He's done his homework and it shows. It's just that I felt that I was too often reading the latest weather report in more detail then I cared to know about.I'm sure that many will disagree on the basis of the "man against the sea" cliche. If so, they might want to read (or re-read) "The Old Man and the Sea" or even "Kon-Tiki".Sorry...4 stars for the movie, but only 2 for the book.
