The book has been made into a few movies. This is the latest adaptation of the story. The Matt Damon/Jude Law version was good but not at all like this one. For one, this has 8 episodes, so almost 8 hours to stretch out and cover details. This is in high definition black and white, giving a whole different feel to the story, one that seems suited to the late 1950s setting. And the character is imagined quite differently...he is older, more seasoned, very well played here as a sort of mysterious guy attracted to the thrill of risks as much as the rewards. I really liked this particular version.
