NINTH GATE, THE(1999)
Not a terrible movie with Johnny Depp playing a book
expert who's tasked with verifying the authenticity of
an ages old book about the accult! C+
From IMDb.com:
Maybe it's just that Roman Polanski has made so many good
movies that we expect too much from him. Most of "The Ninth
Gate" is pretty interesting, but the ending makes no sense.
Johnny Depp, as a rare book collector who uncovers a satanic
plot, should have been able to make much more of the character.
Instead, the movie doesn't really explain anything.
Granted, the movie wasn't a total waste. Those two guys in
Portugal were neat. As it is, any movie about satanism
should be neat. But this one just never really makes the
most of its potential. Most of the people involved have
done better than this, especially Depp and co-stars Frank
Langella and Lena Olin. - lee_eisenberg
