    I found it slow paced and boring. The ending is rather abrupt and unsatisfying.

    A film that had me totally engrossed into its depths, hanging on every word & each scene as if my life depended upon it...until the last 2 minutes of the ending, then it went thud. All in all...I'll watch it over & over again just for the first 3/4 of this film.

    The movie is slow paced yet never boring. The open ending is the only suitable ending for this movie.

    One of those films you have to watch twice (or thrice), a film, that does not end after viewing but needs some thinking. Not brilliant in my view, but interesting and unusual.

    An intelligent, mature movie on a mostly misunderstood theme. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

    Polanski's attempt at Angel Heart which was like Parker's attempt at Mr. Arkadin. While the movie is steeped in gothic style and has creepy cerebral atmosphere there's no satisfactory climax at the end of the long dark tunnel. Depp has little to do, and I wish Polanski would stop using his wife to play movie whore.

    [***PLOT REVELATIONS***] (7.5) I loved 99% of this movie...The atmosphere...the building and darkening suspense...the double take of realizing Lena Olin doesn't use stairs...Depp is pricelessly Depp. But what he doesn't know, poor Johnny, is that instead of looking for the lost copies of an ancient book, he should have been looking for the last pages of the screenplay. Because when the ending finally comes, it doesn't.… Expand

    Utterly...utterly...boring. Nothing ever happens. I give it a 2 just because I am a fan of Lena Olin. The movie is perfect from a cinematographic point of view, except maybe for the protragonist's disgusting habit of lighting up a cigarette every 5 minutes. But the story is so lame, it is hard to stay awake. The devil is too stupid to get a simple book ? Bad news for all the evil people in the world, when their own boss is so dumb...… Expand

    Masterpiece, Polanski should be proud of this one. A Dark occult feature, feels like a film noir although it is not, great performance by the ensemble lead by Johnnie Depp.
