A thriller-flopperoo

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 2008)

My opinion is that Mr Roman Polanski is one of the most prominent directors of our time. But "Chinatown" is a flop.
One day when it was shown over our local TV I tried hardly to enjoy it, but I could not. The same happened, when I watched "The Ninth Gate". I cannot mention a single thing, which I like about the movie. The movie just goes on and on and on, as if the director has nothing to say. As to me, I have certainly nothing good to say. I agree that it is a dark psychological drama but this film being on the top list is not right.
It is also an unpleasant movie (not ultimately though). There exist much worse movies and that's why.. . I give it a weak 3 out of 10, sorry, Mr Roman Polanski. Thanks for attention.
