What do you mean you didn't know this film is out?

You're going to have to read the book if you want to know what this film is all about. There is no way to recap the story or the philosophy behind it in the short review. So, I will have to assume that you either have read the book or intend to read it. As with most book adaptations, one could build a laundry list of what is missing. I was hoping for a period piece. However, after viewing this presentation, I realize that a period piece would be very clumsy and that they made the right decision by adapting it to a more up-to-date venue (September 2, 2016). Then, of course, you have to choose the actors, and that must've been a monumental task. The bottom line is this is as good as it's going to get. I found myself enjoying the film even with the anticipation of some story parts from the book, and I am looking forward to the next two parts. If you haven't read the book first, though there are a lot of things that have been implied, a few things that have been combined or dismissed, so you will have to watch carefully to be able to figure out what the storyline is and the reasoning behind it, it is the action. If you're not inclined to read books that can help you sit taller at the table (approx 336 pages), then be sure to look at the DVD extras, as they will give you a better insight as to what the producers are trying to portray with the various scenes. As you move on to parts two and three, you will see different actors in the parts and a hurry to wrap the story up.
