Read the plot and you will feel that the whole movie has been revealed. Then watch the movie and you will see how it is not.
I haven't read the book, as I have a love-hate relationship with Mr. King, but if this movie is a condensed version of the book, I guess I will have to give it a try.
So, how are you not going to fall asleep in a movie where the premise is to be retrained and alone?...because that is not the premise and that is definitely not what it happens! In fact, as the movie progresses different layers of depth are revealed, including several subplots that you could not begin imagining when you started watching the movie.
So why seven stars and not ten? That is because this movie has the opposite sin of other movies that I have watched. While other movies were too short for my liking, this one lingers too much on certain aspects that are unnecesary. If I could divide this movie into 5 acts, I would cut act 4 and end up with a far better movie...well and then we have the ending, but I am already getting used to endings that are not my type and let's leave it like that.
Overall a movie worth watching if you like minimalistic plots...scratch that, a movie worth watching if you are a fan of thrillers and want something without the usual scares.
