not like Spencer at all
read the book today Bryan Smith's '68 kill' ...OMG, Matthew is Chip. And the character is nothing like Spencer Reid. I totally get why he wanted to play this character, it's such a departure from his geeky nerdy profiler.
It's gritty though. If the film's true to the book, I'm not sure I'll be able to watch Matthew getting the crap beaten out of him to the point where he almost dies. *clutching stuffed animal*
