Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Definitely a European made movie with Johnny Depp, but an excellent but rather dark storyline. Lots of twists and turns with the plot, and never a dull moment for Depp's character.

i loved this movie.i bought it on DVD with really no expectations.boy,
was i pleasantly surprised.the performances were excellent, the music
was perfect for the film. Depp gives an understated performance which
kept me riveted for the whole movie.Frank Langella is brilliantly cast
as the bad guy.Emmanuaelle Seigner was particularly effective as the
mysterious girl who always seems to show up where Depp's character,
Dean Corso happens to be to lend a helping hand. but of course all is
not as it seems, as the ending reveals.the ending reveals just enough
to tease the viewer.i can find no fault with this movie.many people
complained about the ending, but i thought the ending was as it should
be, leaving the viewer to wonder what might happen next, which was, i
think the point.all of the deaths in the movie were very creepy and
eerie.i had not seen a Polanski movie before,but he really impressed me
with this effort.I have watched this movie several times and loved it
each time.to those people who hated this movie, all i can say is"to
each their own"and maybe it is an acquired taste.this movie is
definitely in my top ten.

i really loved this film.i had no expectations going in,so i was pleasantly surprised.i thought all the performances were great.Frank Langella was brilliant.but is it Johnny Depp in the lead role who was really impressive.Depp puts in another quietly understated performance.the music was also perfect for this movie.it really brings out the suspense and creepiness factor.i thought the move was very stylistic and atmospheric.the tone is very dark,which is good,because the movie delves pretty deeply into dark territory.all i will say about that aspect is that it involves the occult.but the movie also has some substance and certainly raises some questions.it's certainly thought provoking.most of all,though,it's just entertaining.i don't always like Roman Polanski's movies,but he really impressed with this one.i highly recommend it.my vote for the "The Ninth Gate":5/5

This poorly publicized film would garner more attention and far better ratings were it honestly tied to the book that inspired it. Read more

In Too Deep
This film is well done but it takes on far too deep themes for what it is; a film noir. This film does an excellent job of capturing detective film noir cliches, but because the... Read more

YES, THE END IS A GYP. OTHERWISE A HAUNTING THRILLER!
The absolutely creepy yet sublime direction of this Polanski endeavour makes it a worthwhile watch. Almost Kubrick-like, wide angle shots and lax-paced screenplay and all. Read more
