Review of The Postcard Killings

A HUGE letdown. Almost laughably. I'd just finished James Patterson's "The Postcard Killers" a couple days ago before I found this movie and decided to give it a try. All the names are the same, such as Jacob Kanon the 'main character' and Sylvia and Mac Rudolph 'the psychopathic art studying postcard killers', but that's about where the similarities end. I wish it were mandatory that in order for you to make a movie of a book, ALL of those involved in the casting, producing, and directing must ACTUALLY read the book. Because if you follow the script in the book, it'd be impossible to screw this movie up, because of how phenomenal the book is. With that said, all of those charged with making this movie completely SCREWED the whole thing up. Dropped the ball in every way possible. Had anyone cared to ACTUALLY READ THE BOOK, and not just taken a worthless and empty summary of it to base the movie off of, I wouldn't be writing this. So so so sad. Wish I could fire the producers but I can't so I'm leaving this note instead.
