The actor returns to the director’s chair for a respectable if heavy-going adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s best-selling crime thriller
This film – an adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s bestselling novel about a
New York private detective with Tourette syndrome – is a labour of love from its writer-producer-director-star Edward Norton, as loving as it is laborious, maybe. Norton has been developing it for the screen pretty much since the book’s publication in 1999, and it is good to see him get it over the finish line.
