Just got back from the motherfucker and I have a lot of similar thoughts.
From what I read in other peoples' reviews, those that saw the film after reading the book were quite disappointed. Having a fear of real reading, I haven't touched the book...and, much like Bastard, found myself very into the storyline.
I'll more than agree about the constant twists tip-toeing on the borderline between "christ that's cool" and cheesy; however, in the end, it definitely worked and delivered a hell of a tale.
I'd recommend it.
