I read the book in high school. I hated it. I only gave the movie a chance because of the casting of Gary Oldman. I was not disappointed.
Oldman is the most underrated actor working in movies today, and the intensity of his performance here makes this film worthwhile. Don't watch the movie for its faithfulness to Hawthorne, watch it for the brilliance of Gary Oldman.
