Full Plot Details

In New York, the money-driven dealer Dean Corso is a rare-books expert and partner of Bernie, who owns a bookstore. He is contacted by the renowned collector of books about the devil Boris Balkan, who has just acquired the rare The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows from the collector Andrew Telfer, to verify whether his book is authentic or a forgery. Balkan explains that the book was written by the writer Aristide Torchia, in 1666, with Lucifer and he was burned at the stake with his entire work. There are only three exemplars of The Nine Gates and in accordance with the legend, its nine engravings form a riddle to conjure the devil. The skeptical Corso accepts the assignment and has to fly to Sintra, Portugal, and Paris, France, to contact the owners Victor Fargas and Baroness Kessler and find the genuine exemplar for Balkan. Meanwhile, he asks Bernie to hide the rare book. Before traveling to Europe, the widow Liana Telfer wants to retrieve the book and has sex with Corso, but he does not accept her offer. When Corso returns to Bernie's bookstore, he finds his friend murdered in the same position of an engraving. Corso travels to Toledo, Spain, to meet the Ceniza twin brothers and learn more about The Nine Gates. During his journey in Europe, Corso is pursued by Liana and her bodyguard, who belong to the sect The Order of the Silver Serpents, and is protected by a mysterious Girl with supernatural powers. Meanwhile, the owners of the two other exemplars of The Nine Gates are murdered. Corso becomes obsessed with the book and discloses the truth about it.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittPolanski's directing is marvelously assured and Depp is always fun to watch.
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseSorely underrated...wisely counter-cultural to Hollywood's idea of what a supernatural thriller should be. [Blu-ray]
Salon - 8/10 by Charles TaylorAmusing, ultra-deadpan entertainment. The director was lucky enough to have a cast who were in on the joke and tuned in to his wavelength.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jack MathewsThe movie falls apart toward the end as it enters "Eyes Wide Shut" territory, but until then, it's fun to see bookworms cast in the James Bond mode.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Gary ThompsonBegins to take on a striking resemblance to the infamously bad "Eyes Wide Shut."
Reel.com - 8/10 by Mary Kalin-CaseyThis supernatural mystery is an uneventful, drawn-out, and colossally disappointing return to the screen for the once-compelling director.
Cinema Signals - 8/10 by Jules BrennerAt least the action is moved by earthbound dementia rather than by the power of a divinity.
Mixed Reviews - 8/10 by Gabriel ShanksA lengthy exposition, a meandering plot, and overattenuated dialogue. Warts and all, Polanski is back.
DVDTalk.com - 7/10 by Scott WeinbergSometimes dry, sometimes wacky, but surprisingly compelling throughout.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Kevin LallyThe material remains too trifling and ultimately ludricrous to justify the care that's gone into the production.
