My two-bits:
The movie captured the book version very well. There were slight changes or rather tweaks that gave the movie its own uniqueness. And, it left me the same way the book did. Disgruntled - however, not in a bad way. Just in a way of making me really think of the importance of character likability of protagonists in general.
I should mention that I liked the book. The twists and turns and twists in the style of storytelling was refreshing and fun to come across.
The movie cast selected were spot on which was a nice surprise. I'm starting to become more of an Affleck fan.
