Theatrical release: March 31, 2000. Filmed on location in Paris, France; at the Château de Ferrières (near Paris); Sintra, Portugal; Toledo, Spain; and at the Sudios Epinay. José López Rodero, who plays a dual role (the shady Ceniza brothers), actually started out as the film's production manager. Polanski decided he would be perfect for the part(s) and persuaded Rodero (who had never done any professional acting before) to appear in the film. Emmanuelle Seigner is married to Roman Polanski.

Ninth Gate Reviews:

"...Engaging and well-executed....Johnny Depp excels in character roles..."-- Tim Cogshell, Box Office

"...THE NINTH GATE is well-crafted with a genteel and moody air....Polanski has concentrated on the subdued and the spooky. And he's thrown in some bizarre acting touches..."-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"...With its fiery, over-the-top spectacle and bolts of black humor, THE NINTH GATE is actually more in the spirit of VAMPIRE KILLERS than ROSEMARY'S BABY....Lena Olin is the ultimate cat woman..." -- Lloyd Sachs, Chicago Sun-Times

"...A sardonic detective thriller peppered with carefully crafted pleasures..." -- Lisa Nesselson, Variety

"...Depp's performance is a consistent delight..."-- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life

"...A lot of lowbrow fun....[Depp performs] with real panache..." -- 3 out of 5 stars - A Satisfying Rental -- Christopher Kelly, Premiere

"...Polanski remains a supreme technician....The film is intricately well-made....THE NINTH GATE is generously spiced with humorous detail..." -- Philip Strick, Sight and Sound   Hide Description

DVD $8.65  4.2 stars
In Tim Burton's stylish, creepy retelling of the classic Washington Irving story, SLEEPY HOLLOW, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is a squeamish, bookish 18th century New York City investigator sent to a small town in lower Westchester county to look into three mysterious decapitations. When the always rational Crane arrives at the little Dutch village, he finds that most of the townsfolk believe the culprit to be the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a monstrous Hessian soldier (Christopher Walken), who seems to be mysteriously tied in to one of the town's most prominent families. Burton's natural instincts for campy humor, combined with the hauntingly gorgeous technical work (Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography and Danny Elfman's score included), collide to create a work of exhilarating entertainment and ...

Director Frank Darabont's second adaptation of a Stephen King prison tale (the first being 1994's nearly flawless THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) is a hopeful charmer with a hint of the supernatural. The story focuses on Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), a Louisiana security guard who works on death row during the Great Depression. When John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a gigantic black man convicted of raping and murdering two white girls, joins the other prisoners on the row, Paul's life is forever altered. Coffey doesn't fit the mold of a psychopathic killer; he's kind, gentle, and afraid of the dark. As the story progresses, Edgecomb learns that there is something more than ...

3 stars Entertaining Movie
I liked the movie. I think I would have hoped for something a little more - I don't know - evil at the end. Or perhaps a more evil tranformation of Johnny as he was becoming obsessed with the Nine Gates. Or perhaps that he would do something to fight the obsession. Not among my favorite Johnny Depp films, but I liked it.

5 stars my favorite movie
I love the look and feel of this movie. Scary without gore. You have to watch Johnny Depp, he is great, as are all the actors. Classy movie Commentary by Roman Polanski is so interesting that I've watched that a couple times too.

4 stars Depp is suspenseful and timeless
History buffs will find this interpretation of passgaes from the Bible and other related books very compelling. The books and the researcher (J.Depp) carry the plot to a surprise conclusion that is really not an ending but the beginning of another plot.(This could have been a Hitchkock film) J.Depp fans will enjoy this movie for its suspense and performance. I know why he won the Best in Male Actor for the Oscars. A fan for a long time will recognize how insightful Depp has been in his interpretation of this plot. He gets better as time goes by.His lines continue to be short with lots of picture presence from camera focus on his face and body language. (And isin't this how the famous T.Cruise gets his chrisma?) A great movie without the "Disneyness" of Pirates of the Carribean

4 stars Highly recommended
I can't offer enough positive commentary about this movie. First, let me say that Johnny Depp and Frank Langella are excellent. Whoever (whomever?) cast these guys knew what he was doing and knew what the movie demanded. In my opinion, Frank Langella is pivotal to this movie and synonymous with the essence of this film. Second, the directing has absolutely deadly finesse. Finally, while difficult to describe, the overall feel of this film is strangely gothic, haunting and macabre and renders it particularly enjoyable...again, in a strange sort of way.
