My biggest gripe was that the murder played out like Raskolnikov was simply desperate for money and therefore decided to murder the woman on an impulse, but my recollection from the book was much different... That the murder was very well thought out, and that Raskolnikov considered himself special, and performed the murder almost as a test to prove that there would be no moral, repercussions from God. This difference is sort of crucial, because Raskolnikov being tortured by the realization that he was wrong is the central theme to the whole book but in the movie, he's not really conflicted... just trying to get away with the crime.
The major plot points, are otherwise all here. The Inspector was really well played, and they sort of gave him all the dialog to describe Raskolnivof's predicament, stating it out right, rather than a reader of the book having to infer his mental state.
I loved the scene where Raskolnikov goes to the Inspector's office to admit he had pawned a watch with the old woman, and despite the circumstance implying suspicion, he acted very cocky.... overly so. Lorre did a great job.
