Action Packed -- Non-Stop Action!! First, let me say I did not read the book. Over the years, any book I've read that was made into a tv or movie, were never the same which is why I don't compare. If I read the book first, I try to avoid the movie. If I were to see the movie first, I then read up on the difference from the book. Based on me not reading the book, I truly enjoyed this movie. I love action movies, especially action-packed, non stop. This movie fits that category. The special effects were awesome as well as the acting. This is not a spoiler because he's said it in interviews and you can google search it but just in case you weren't aware, it makes it even more exciting because Michael P. Jordan did all of his own stunts.
