Featured review
Not as good as it should have been
The book this movie is based on, "The Ratman's Notebooks," is so much better that this film has become over the past thirty years really insignificant. At least it has good performances, but the general Made-for-TV feel of the picture ruins it. Now I understand they're doing a remake. For God's sake, just follow the original book. It was damn good!
