An average movie

At the time of its release, it seemed to be a rather minor effort for Johnny Depp but if you compare it to what he has been making during the last 4 years, it was actually not bad at all which is actually rather sad. Anyway, since I was still a huge Johnny Depp fan, I had to watch this movie at some point. So, sure, it was not one of his best movies but there were some pretty good things though. For example, the whole thing looked quite gorgeous and Depp was, as usual, very good. But, eventually, to be honest, I wasn't really captivated by the story. I mean, I do have a weak spot for dark characters who happens to be a little bit perverted but, after the Marquis de Sade, it all seems like a déjà-vu. Still, it is obvious that Johnny Depp had some fun playing such a dark and immoral character (Captain Jack Sparrow seems pretty much like an innocent creature compared to the Earl of Rochester). To conclude, even though it is rather obscure and not really an amazing feature, I still think worth a look though, especially if you are interested in Johnny Depp’s work.
