I was actually quiet dissapointed in the movie and expected it to be better. Interesting that it is based on a true story. Sorry I don't rate it.

Why be sorry?

Each to his own.

I actually picked up the book 2nd-hand in Vietnam back in 2006. Very interesting/curious/disturbing/incredulous... just plain out there!

Yet to see the movie, but from the trailers I reckon they've done a bit more of a ****-take on how the book actually read. Can't wait to see the movie. Despite George Clooney being a fairly mainstream actor, I really rate his work.
