The Ninth Gate starring Johnny
Depp, Frank Langella, Lena Olin,
Emmanuelle Seigner, Barbara Jefford
Superb Effort For Depp And Polanski
Johnny Depp unlocks the gates to hell in Roman Polanskis newest thriller.
Depp stars as Dean Corso, an unscrupulous rare-book dealer who is hired
to locate the last remaining copies of The Nine Gate of the Shadow
Kingdom, a demonic manuscript that can summon the Devil. Corso
becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving murder, theft and satanic
ritual, and ultimately finds himself confronting the devil incarnate.
The Ninth Gate was a wonderful four to five star film by Roman Polanski
starring Johnny Depp and Frank Langella. It was a well paced film which
metered out horror at a deliberately measured pace. Direction and casting
were all superb. Johnny Depps performance was outstanding as a totally
amoral book dealer on a mission to find none other than Lucifer himself.
Many scenes contained fantastic imagry and appear to have been filmed
on location. The final scenes were surprising and left me feeling a bit
unfinished. Then again, this ending (as in Rosemaries Baby) left the
viewer very interested in what happens next and several directors believe
that a good way to go. In any case, I really enjoyed this film and
recommend it to all fans of Roman Polanski and Johnny Depp.
