It's a good adaptation of a very successful book. Sadly there were some scenes that just seemed forced. For example the entire bar scene, it was so badly scripted and made no sense. The movie focuses completely on the fathers loss, which is sad, because one of the best actresses in the movie is the woman who plays the mother of the child, and her loss and struggle is only touched on. The climax is so well made and acted out, and that's the main reason I give it 5 stars. That scene won me over, but overall, the 2 main actors go through the same emotions and conflict over and over again, which is understandable in such a situation, but other movies were able to make the experience more captivating.
