Thomas Jane...

Without question this is his picture.
Certainly one thing Netflix and other cable channels have done with their burgeoning original programming is to either give a break to the deserving or revive careers that no longer seem to matter to the major studios. Thomas Jane certainly does deserve the accolades his work here earns.
One thing I noticed, as a former actor, was his choice not to move his jaw when he spoke. It's not easy to do unless you do it without thinking; if you hold your stress in your jaw like most hold it in their shoulders\neck. It added a dimension to the character, an underlining current of tension to everything he said. An interesting choice for Jane to make.

Im excited to watch this! I saw a bad review on the roger ebert site but doesn't phase me. Loved Geralds Game! Love that Stephen king has so much coming out

It was pretty faithful to the short story. I enjoyed it

Yes it was. Yet as a lot of King's work, some of the creepiness was lost due to so much being in a characters head. The narration helped cover some of his decent into madness; though I suppose he had to be a good ways there to even consider what he did.

He was solid in this... his movie for sure

He was good, the movie not so much. To nick a (rough) quote from LOTR, it felt like butter spread thinly over too much bread. I wanted to enjoy it more, but frankly it was pretty dull.
