Saw it Wednesday. The opening is really fast, like the first 3 chapters happen in like 10 minutes. And I wish they fleshed out the memory parts a bit more. Nothing really triggers his flashbacks like in the book, and it doesn't really seem to give him any revelations. There's a big twist at the end and he just looks sad for a moment and that's it.

But other than that, good movie. All the story beats are in there and the parts that they did focus on are really good.
