Janey, I saw the film yesterday afternoon. If I am honest with you, I was disappointed. Of course, they always show the trailers, which may or may not make the movie look better than it really is.
I can't answer the question about how closely the movie stuck to the book, because I didn't read it, but I can tell you for a Scorsese (brilliant man) film, it did not deliver. It was still a good flick, but not nearly as good as his others. It just lacked something...can't quite put my finger on it.
Something I did notice, was how closely it resembled the Russell Crowe flick, "A Beautiful Mind." Now, that was an excellent movie! Although, that was based on a true story.
Everyone is crazy and plotting but you, but you are the crazy one. I did like the surprise ending, but I had already figured it out mid-movie, because of the Russell Crowe film.
I have to say Leo was amazing. Oscar winning performance!
All in all, it was worth a matinee, and it was a fun afternoon.
