6/10
A tepid B for Butchered
28 July 2023
Please keep Vicky Wight away from future Katherine Center book adaptations. PLEASE. She is 0/2 as a screenwriter and director. I was extremely disappointed in this version of one of my favorite books. Chopping the entire section where Helen and Jake drive together to the hike? WTH? A terrible creative decision. Or should I say "uncreative?" It left the rest of the story lacking in foundation we need.

My skepticism about casting was, ironically, a non issue. Sadly, the script is so thin and badly done that all of the book's special moments are left flimsy and diluted. I'd love to see The Bodyguard adapted too. But not by Vicky Wight.
