Well, I’m pleasantly surprised to see it follows the Bachman (King) plot better than the Arnold version, which makes it far and away superior in that it makes the dystopian lack of privacy so much closer to reality today. I enjoyed all of the Bachman books more than most of King’s other works. But, that said, it has been long enough since I read them that I know I won’t be ejected from my suspension of disbelief by any deviations from the novel this movie takes. I do wish that Hollywood would stop the remake merry go round, but if this is an improvement over the 80s cheesy action flick, then I probably will still enjoy this one.
