Review of Valentine

Valentine (2001)
1/10
Abomination that should not be related to the stellar thriller novel
30 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This film was supposedly "based on the novel by Tom Savage," but it bears very little resemblance besides the revenge aspect of the storyline. The characters are not close to the same, which leaves the film characters as 2 dimensional garbage. I would like to say that there was a silver lining to this movie, but I can't find one. Hollywood wanted a horror movie and they got a bad one. The book is a much more elaborate plot that gives you far more insight to the reasons for the revenge and what makes each character tick. Instead we get how can death occur and "who has the bloody nose?" Give me a break.

I think Tom Savage should give his money back to get his name removed from the crap. My suggestion is that anyone who has an inkling to see this movie, should turn off the TV and read the book.
