Reviews  The Ninth GateReview created: 20/06/08 by: helentwohey ( 9 )  I've seen this film a million times. Its brilliant. Its a methodically pased thriller. Clever, not violent. Tension is high through-out. Review ID: 10000000007644734 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Interesting and adventerousI enjoyed this film because it is not very predictable and there are always surprises. I didn't rate it as excellent because I feel that the ending could have been better because after I first watched it I was unsure on what had happened, so I had to check online to find out. Once I found out I then understood, but I feel that it could have been clearer. Overall a good performance from Johnny Depp, not one of his best but he is well suited for these types of roles. Worth seeing! Review ID: 10000000006366820 Was this review helpful? Report this review Ninth GateReview created: 25/02/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This is a strange film not particularly horrific though there is some violence and the deaths that occur are not pretty but they are not disgustingly obscene as it is rated a 15. It is a relatively quiet film ie that there is not one continuous flow of action, however it is near impossible to stop watching as the story is full of intrigue. What are the books about? Why 3 books? Who really did the engravings? What will happen when the books are compared? This film mixes cults of satanic ritual, murder, mystery, theft, conspiracy, sex, and there is also some humour in the accompanying music and in Depp's lines and unique acting abilities. I only wish that the ending was a little longer to give more explanation, visually. Review ID: 10000000005795349 Was this review helpful? Report this review keeps you on your toes, well worth watchingReview created: 11/02/08 by: My wife really likes Johnny Depp. We taped the film weeks ago but when we came to watch it, somehow there was only half of it taped! That was the reason for tracking the film down to buy. Glad we did! Review ID: 10000000005603167 Was this review helpful? Report this review The Ninth Gate - starring: Johnny DeppReview created: 31/01/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Initially, I bought this DVD because I particularly enjoy Johnny Depp's acting. So, I was blind to the plot and reliant on the performance. In short, if anybody who watched and enjoyed The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, (which was made much later), they should indeed sit back and be entertained by this film. Yes, the story-line runs around a code (of sorts) and of course there is the evil tone running throughout, but this is where the similarity ends. Johnny Depp is a much acclaimed actor, and has shown a diverse ability in all styles of acting. His leading-role as a book dealer immediately lays question to a somewhat suspect personality, but it's hard to pinpoint what is wrong, exactly? A dark and seductive performance throughout! A definate must see! reviewed by: pavloupuss Review ID: 10000000005297927 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
