ControlledDemolition 911

It's a very well-made and entertaining film. The casting and acting were good. If it was from an original screenplay, I wouldn't find any fault with it. However, as an adaptation, it leaves much to be desired. I am not a stickler when it comes to adapting a short story or novel to film, but this is one of the true classics in literature. Rewriting the Count of Monte Cristo is like rewriting Hamlet, Macbeth or King Lear. You can do it, but perhaps you shouldn't. Here, they've stripped it bare,retaining only a hollow shell of the original story and its many subtle and layered messages about humanity, despair and hope, injustice and justice, betrayal and loyalty, righteousness and indifference, morality and immorality,
