This would have been a difficult book to dramatize. They chose to sample bits of everything, which meant that nothing was really worked out properly. The long psychololgical twists which were the heart of the narrative were here but all were heavily truncated. The battle room action and development scenes which were a centerpiece of the book were given a very brief showing, and the most important conversation in the book was removed, leaving the very heavy handed message of the book replaced by ambiguity. Stylistically it made for a smoother movie; but it also rendered the movie completely forgettable.
