Review of The Ninth Gate (1999) by Steve G — 31 Mar 2009
I enjoyed watching the bulk of this movie, which has a kind of "Davinci Code" feel to it but is a bit slower-moving. The big weakness of the movie is the ending. There is a gradual build-up through the whole movie promising a big finish but the end does not deliver either great excitement or a lot of information wrapping up all the questions.
As the credits rolled, I was wondering what the heck happened. I went online to research the meaning of various clues in the movie and now I understand the ending. Post-viewing research really should not be a necessary part of watching a movie.
