Good lord. Was Douglas Peterson written as such an offputting and infuriating jerk in the book? Because from about 15 minutes into this tiresome story I wanted to punch the guy in the face. Over and over and over. I thought maybe it was the way Hollander was playing him. But then I thought no, Tom Hollander is too good an actor to play someone as unrelentingly stupid and clueless. But there it was, for several looong hours, and I had absolutely no sympathy for him at any point. Wife should have left him long ago, son should leave him now before it's too late.
Next time, please write a character with least some intelligence and some innate human feeling. Thank you.
Some of the scenery was pretty.
