It has been years since I saw the movie or read the book, but I saw it when my memories of the book were much fresher and liked it a great deal, although I recall that it had the usual book-to-movie adaptation issues of some plot elements needing to be simplified/condensed/eliminated for reasons of length. (In particular, I vaguely want to say that I think there was less screen time for Mouse, who I found one of the most fascinating characters in the book.) And the casting of Jennifer Beals as the title character was particularly apt for spoilerific reasons.
