Anybody that tells you this is a good movie, or that it was suspenseful or scary is flat out lieing.

While I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, this is without a doubt one of the biggest wastes of his talent I've ever seen.

Let me sum this movie up for you...
Johnny Depp is an unscroupulous rare book dealer, and he's paid to authenticate a book. For the next couple hours we get to see him be unclever, and drug through a plot that is simply flat and uninteresting. With an ending so bad, I had to stop and rewind the movie and make sure that I didn't miss anything. (I hadn't)

The music is some of the worst I've ever heard, and sounds like cheesy 70's soap opera music. I hope that too much of the budget wasn't spent there. Or if it was, call me Roman, I'll borrow my sons Fischer Price keyboard and xylophone and I can score you next picture. (And until you see this piece of garbage you won't realize how dead on I am...)

The only movie ending that was worse than this was the priviously reviewed "Eye of the Beholder". Now it's not on that level. It's about one rung up on the ladder though...

Roman Polanski, shame on you...
Next time you direct a movie, a script is the first thing you should have, not the last.

About an hour in, you'll find yourself in you seat, unconsciously moving forward and backward, trying to get the plot to speed up. It won't work. (I tried!)
