Well this sucked.

Total formulaic cash grab adaptation. If you're a fan of the series, it might be worth redboxing, just for idris elba and mconaughey, since they really nailed their characters.

Really fucking wanted this to be good, but its so god damn generic. It honestly comes off like a run of the mill youth novel adaptation, which is a problem in and of itself, as the books are not youth novels. Jake being more of a main protagonist than roland doesn't help.

Should have just stuck with the hbo series plan. Way better format for this.
