Great story, not a bad movie either.

The bit with Tommy exonerating Andy was one of the few parts of the movie I did not like.
I wish they had left it ambiguous.

Yeah, in the book I think it was a little more ambiguous with Andy hoping Tommy's story was about him even though the details were a little off.
Reminds me of the Robert Redford movie version of The Castle in which he is the hero all the way through, while in the story there is a fundamental shift wherein the warden (Gandolfini's character) turns out to be a good guy with a tough job and Redford's character turns out to be a power-mad bully. But Redford wouldn't dream of being in a role like that, so re-write, baby!

Actually I kind of like the dedication of Kevin Spacey in Se7en. The way he kept the dude alive for 1 year was pretty neat. Also the character in Law Abiding Citizen, although I wish he'd lived.

I LOVED the book. Fantastic story all around. One of those stories that makes you wish you had thought of it because it's so great.
