I read the book ages ago and liked it quite a lot...which made me dislike the movie because unlike the dark, non-redemptive ending of the novel they tacked on a totally Hollywood-like happy end which is completely out of place with the satirical and critical intention of the book. The worst Brian de Palma film I can remember.
