I like it. I really like it. Bart Layton hasn’t laid electron to screen in eight years, but it was worth the wait. His adaptation of a Don Winslow Novella proves there’s still room in Hollywood for a novel as original intellectual property: no superheroes, no explicit sex, just good dialogue and a clever plot. Give this man the Oscar for best adapted screenplay.
