A fantastic film

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2015)

Having recently watched the excellent film Legend I was a bit unsure what to expect from this film. By looking at the trailer I was not sure if I would like this film at all. However the performance of Johnny Depp put my worries completely to shame. The same goes for the other actors as well, a quite impressive performance from all.
I kept reminding me that this movie is based on a true story. When you keep that in mind Depp's performance is chilling at times, but to my surprise he is also able to portray a character that is both pure evil and surprisingly caring all in one nice package.
What made me like this film is that I did not notice any fancy CGI effects, the film felt natural and believable and not over the top. When watching the end credits I needed to remind myself that the main character here is actually the same man who portrays the innocent Edward Scissorhands. A unforgettable performance, a interesting story and a good pace throughout the movie. Well worth the enjoyment!
