    The book - but just about. Excellent movie and a masterclass of adaptation.

    No Country for Old Men. :)

    Movie. Book was overrated, but film was cracking and entertaining throughout!

    Movie. Book was great but reading the Scottish accent drove me crazy. Do you ken? Also the movie soundtrack was top draw.
