Right on about the book/movie...not many movies measured up to the book..this one did..
Another movie i think came close to the book was The Exorcist...I remember reading the book and chills ran up my spine..i was spooked..lol...movie came pretty close...
My all time favorite book was the politcal thriller The Day of the Jackal..there were two movies made, both pretty bad...have read all of Frederick Forsyth's books...
