Disappointing and miscast. But then maybe the mistake was mine. You see I read the book before I saw the movie. I imagined a much more interesting cast,although I thought Bana was good as the lead character. But not his best work. The most glaring mistake was that the script was very poorly adapted Too much emphasis on cinemtography , THE VAST DRY LANDSCAPE and not enough on character. It's a shame it had it's moments but too few to make it more than average.
