The book was so powerful, and the characters so slimy, I was
really
prepared for a good nasty wallow. Unfortunately, it was just
a slightly
above -average cop thingie, at about the level of Copland.
The comparisons
with Chinatown must have been made by critics who hadn't seen
one, or
possibly, either film.
Mind you, really enjoying a book is almost a guarantee that
you'll hate the
film.
