Another hit from the hand of Stephen King I really do not get how he can find inspiration to write such an interesting stories. 
This one is about a young boy that accidentally discovers wanted Nazi war criminal and then blackmails him. The old saying goes fuck with the bull and you get the horns, so if he thought he can outsmart an experienced member of a Nazi war machine, he better think again. He will learn much about life and his environment trough contact with this almost lovable man. Excellent movie with amazing performance of Ian McKellen, Gandalf really kicked ass in this one. Directing and camera work could be better, but the story is something that in combination with excellent performances of the actors overshadows everything. The kid is a bit annoying at times but I guess that created a better chemistry between him and the Nazi. I have not read the novel, so I cannot compare the two, only thing I can say is that the movie is definitely worth watching.
