A Review Of The Movie The Ninth Gate

                                                                                         

I was taking a break from the old computer and
decided to watch some classic film that really
wasn't that old. As I was checking the different
channels I came across a film called "The Nine Gates" staring Johnny Deep. I remember him in
another movie "Blow" that I liked, so I figured
that I would watch it for a while and then go
back to work.

After about 35 minutes I knew that I would end up
watching the whole film. It had a fascinating
topic about the Devil.A rare book dealer, while
seeking out the last two copies of a demon text,
gets drawn into a conspiracy with supernatural
overtones

It is a mystery/Horror thriller film based on the
novel The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. It
was co-written and directed by Roman Polanski, and
stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a rare
books-dealer who is hired by a rich book collector
(Frank Langella) to validate his recently
purchased copy of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of
Shadows by 17th century author Aristide Torchia.

Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) is a swindling rare-books
dealer ]whose only motivation is financial gain. A
very rich book collector by the name of Boris
Balkan (Frank Langella) hires Corso to validate
his recently purchased copy of The Nine Gates of
the Kingdom of Shadows by 17th century author
Aristide Torchia, one of only three surviving
copies in the world,

From the very beginning when Dean Corso agrees to
accept Ballan's offer to find and validate the
other two copies of the Nine Gates, the bodies
start to pile up. First, his friend and business
partner was murdered in the style of one of the
engravings in The Nine Gates.

Corso then travels to Portugal and after viewing
another copy of the Nine Gates, another murder
takes place. He encounters a young women that he
remembers from his own country. But this young
women is no ordinary women by any means. He then
ends up in Paris where the killings continue. The
ending of this film is not what I guessed it would
be, but it was sure entertaining, to say the
least. I would recommend this film to anyone who
likes suspense and horror rolled into one. Johnny
Deep has now entered my perception of what a good
actor is. I think lthat he is very talented and plays
a very convincing part in this film.
