We just viewed this this afternoon. Wow Wow Wow. I thought a very good adaption of Mr. King's story. Was a little distressed with theinteracting GPS and I guess the appearance of the Knitting Society, which was not part of the original story, worked well enough.
Actually these elements were in the original story (I think!) - I just reread Big Driver this past summer and I am pretty sure
her GPS talked to her plus she heard the voice of her characters in her head as well.
It was a really good show - I have it on my DVR so Andy can watch it when he gets back from up North at Christmas.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!I saw this too. Really REALLY good. The tension was ramped up nicely as he turned up to "fix her tire".... Great production.
I thought it was a good adaptation as well. I think it would probably be better if I had not read the short story, though, and knew what was going to happen.
Maria Bello was perfect for her role, and whoever played Big Driver was about exactly as I pictured him when reading the story. Pretty solid effort for a made for TV movie.
There have been much worse movies based on King books that were shown in theaters, that's for sure.
I thought it was done very well. I love Maria Bello.I have yet to see this. I really want to! It was on TV like three times and I couldn't remember even once. I'll need a DVD for my SK movie/TV adaptation collection anyway, so I should look for a copy to buy, I think.
