Read the book when I was a teen, thought it was AWESOME. The movie though does not live to the expectations. The pace is too slow in the first part, and when things get interesting the movie is almost over. Great direction & character dev though. Having Arnie's POV = better IMO
An incisive study dissecting the modern society of distrust and hostility, detailing the chilling process of how it forces the kind and benign to become social outcast and drive them into paranoia and insanity. Like a dark jungle laden with danger, in such a society, the combative and the self-righteous wins, leaving those who don't hurt others to hurt themselves.
