Great Expectations

I really enjoyed the radical translation of Great Expectations. I thought it was an entertaining movie. I liked the fact that the director was able to stayed true to the text for the most part while making it more modern. I like how he made the setting in America instead of England and that it took place in the '80s and '90s. I also think that he choose talented actors that depicted the characters in the novel well. If i could say one bad thing about it it would be with the convict. In the book Magwitch was a main character, but i felt in the movie he wasn't a big deal. I would have liked to see a bigger role for him in the film. I would recommend this movie.
