I really want to see this, as the book is my favorite, and I just read it this past year. I knew as soon as Viggo was starring in it he'd do the character justice. The man is super talented, as he can go from hero (Lord of The Rings) to criminal/mob badass (Eastern Promises) to caring and loving father (The Road).

Hopefully this weekend. Good to hear that it respected the book quite well. I might look into Blood Meridian in the New Year as well as "You Shall Know Our Velocity" by Dave Eggers and "Breakshot" by Kenji "Kenny" Gallo.
Sometimes even within the same movie. *spoilers in white* (A History of Violence)
