Having read the book, this adaptation just overly simplified the complexity and layering of what is a superb novel. The film was too focussed on the sexual elements of the story as opposed to the nature of the 'game' of espionage, the tradecraft, and the intertwined complexity of relationships

The characters were one dimensional and very disappointing. My biggest disappointment was the assassin Matorin who is portrayed in the book as a psychotic angel of death. The casting of Jennifer Lawrence was just not right. She lacked the charisma to do justice to the main role and was portrayed as far too vulnerable in my opinion.

Forget it - just read the books.
