Title: Read the Book
Review: There's nothing of merit really in this movie that you wouldn't more profitably accrue in the book. I was fine with the factual changes they made, conflating some scenes, adding some facts, etc., but there were a few problems I had.One, the scenes were way too fast. The movie picks up after about thirty minutes and the scenes start getting a little better pacing to them, but overall I thought it was a pretty poorly paced film. I never really felt anchored, and therefore never felt weight in the scenes which were supposed to give weight.Two, I didn't think the acting was fabulous. It wasn't terribly, but those are difficult roles to play.I'd say this probably isn't worth your money.Read the book. It was Hemingway's freakish surreal/fantasy novel before he killed himself.
