Disappointed but for another reason
As said by a lot of the people who have read the book this film is supposed to be based on, it's a fascinating story that really drags you in. Partly because of the incredible stories he tells but also for the charismatic way in which it's delivered.
Where some people are disappointed by the content i think i enjoyed a lot of what i saw. The biggest disappointment for me is what i didn't see. I can get over the little inaccuracies (stolen projector in Ireland, how he acquired the Mr Nice passport, etc) but some of the most enjoyable stuff, especially the time he spent in Asia and his dealings with Lord Moynahan, was completely left out and, this more than anything else, made it feel rushed and disjointed. I don't care if he made it up or it was gospel truth, quite a lot of the meat was missing from this pie.
Perhaps from the perspective of someone who hasn't read the book it worked to earn the 6.7 score it currently has, but for me, it's generous giving it a five.
Ifans, no discredit to him, was superb but, generally, i'm feeling a bit let down.
What else was left out from the book that you groovy people missed, or thought would've made a great scene?
