That 2006 Movie with a Long-Haired Tom Hanks and Amelie

I read the book last year and was massively disappointed because it turned out to be so clumsily written. It was an intriguing concept and story, but as a written thriller it was awkward and fanfiction quality.

I seemed to have gotten past that since the movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise because everyone had slammed it so much. Sure, it was still just as silly as the book was, but now they'd slightly improved on the clumsiest "intense" moments which was enough for me. Where I had expected the book to be intelligent and wellwritten, I had no such expectations for the film and was thus more entertained, I guess. Any problem with the original story was already in the book and didn't really bother me so much.

They'd turned Sophie's character into a pretty useless damsel in distress though, and since some of the background info was missing, some of the appeal that the book had wasn't quite there, but as a thriller it was alright.
I don't get why anyone would call it dull. Silly in parts perhaps, but dull?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
