Nice write-up! For me, it is a neck-and-neck time between OUT OF SIGHT and JACKIE BROWN for favorite Leonard adaptation. It really depends on the time, the day and the mood I'm in. Honorable mention to GET SHORTY, which is right up there, too.
100%. Get Shorty is great. There are many Honorable Mentions--I happen to think the second, Christian Bale version of 3:10 TO YUMA is better than the first and sometimes think I'm the only one who thinks 52 PICK-UP is wild, intense, and satisfying.

Great piece, Daniel. And that letter, man. Wow, what a gift!
Thanks! Yeah, you can imagine my face when I opened that envelope. Getting an email from an author just isn’t the same.
