Johnny Depp is always good...

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2005)

Once again Johnny Depp provides us an solid performance. It's hard to not to like the films he has made. This film is a dark one, much like another Depp movie Sleepy Hollow. In my opinion movie was a bit too hard to follow even though the plot itself isn't very complicated. Robbie Coltrane also succeeds to be in good shape in this one. But in general the stage is set for Depp and other performances tend go just in a side. The visual presentation of this movie is also interesting and exciting, although being quite dark, as said. But if you have seen a lot of movies like I, this one really doesn't offer anything new. The ones who liked Sleepy Hollow or The Ninth Gate will probably like this also. I liked both, but because I had seen them before watching this I was quite ready what to expect. But if you want spent an hour and a half with visually great Johnny Depp movie then this one to choose from many good ones. This movie is straight from hell... :)
