A good book ruined by an awful screenplay and changes to characters.
The main plot of the book, with the policeman suspecting something was up concerning the main characters, was disregarded. Also the main villains in the book were Scandanavian but in this they were Geordies / Scots. Considering that one of the screenplay writers is of Scandanavian origin then you would think that this would be left in.
The heist itself was a joke, it would have been much better left as per the book. I may be wrong but I had the impression that it was a comedy drama as opposed to a drama.
Very, very poor.
