I know this was a Stephen King adaptation but it's a book/story that I've not read so I can't say how close to the story this actually is. It _is_ a bit dated...but of course, Stephen King adaptations are _never_ as vivid as his written stories really are, so that should come as no surprise that this falls short.

It does seem a bit dated, but the story was solid. There were really no A-listers in the cast so the acting was so-so. The biggest gripe I had was that it took three nights to air this. It was a solid story - whether you enjoy the ending or not - but man, it just seemed to go on forever.

I would call it a worthwhile viewing; it may run on the lengthy side for some while others may feel it's suited for a three-night run. The main strong point, in my opinion, again is the story itself. I have a feeling if I can find this in print form, it will make for a truly amazing read. SK screen adaptations just always seem to fall well short of the mark.
