Interesting fast moving movie in the tradition of Chinatown. In fact Ed was as good as jack. Without spoilers it's dark, disturbing, slow at first but picks up speed. Excellent cinematography, great soundtrack, follows the Novel relatively faithfully. Not many good movies left anymore, this was one of a kind in the era of superhero's and green screen garbage. I loved it, and hate 90% of the garbage they put out, which of course means it will win no awards.
