As a fan of Ian Rankin I really wanted to see this movie. Although it strays a little from the novel, it kept to the crux of the story.
The cast is tops. And the top actor is Stephen Fry an art professor then collection curator.
At least half of this badly paced and poorly written crime caper could have been cut. Most of the first hour drags...
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.
Amazon ratings are much higher. Thoroughly entertaining, satisfying romp.
