Love the movie. Fascinating to read the book and note the differences - the characters are all in there just often different: Carl doesn't meet Johnny and gets killed on Pluto, Carmen is a character Johnny goes on one date with, Johnny's dad lives and joins the army, Diz is a guy who we barely get to know, Ace pops pu then disappears. I think the film did a good adaptation. Though it didn't fix the fifth act.
The action scenes are well done. Love the training detail. It is a bit fascist - like Ancient Rome fascist (it's still a democracy just with a limited franchise). There's a lot of military mentality talk - going on about equipment, and horseplay and what not which feels realistic and is dull.
