This is a great film, The plot follows the novel throughout but some Christian and western influence is added. This spoils the tag line from my opinion.
Comparing this film with the novel might not be fair. The novel is great and this film is also, but in different way.
The visual effects are great as well as the acting. 60s Nazi Reich spirit is captured well. The Third Reich painted in the film is credible, and very nice attention is paid to the details.
I'd suggest watching this film first and then reading the Robert Harris' novel. That way you'll get the best of the both.
I've been waiting for about ten years to see the filmation, and this was a bit of a disappointment. Seeing the Auschwitz death camps in person last year was a shocking experience. They're preserved in extraordinary way by the Polish. I'd suggest all the viewers to visit the survived concentration and extermination camps and feel the "spirit" of the Nazi Germany. It's a life-changing experience for you even if you are a extreme right believer or a person interested in the history.
The movie alone 9/10, compared to the novel 6/10.
