It is clear that everyone in this movie worked extremely hard. Bruce Willis ALMOST saves this movie. His performance is fantastic, particularly in watching him agonizingly drawing a painful smile across his face. He and Albert Finney are, unfortunately, the only well cast actors in the movie.
I've not read the book; it may simply be that this was not possible to translate to film. A lot of interesting ideas fly around, but in the end, to quote the bard, it's sound and fury, signifying nothing.
