Ninth Gate, The (1999) - Roman Polanski


A stupid film in which Polanski tries to do a 'Bond meets Omen' film. I would have said 'Bond meets Da Vinci Code', but this is a precursor to the Da Vinci code. The similarities are striking, though - the girl is French; she turns out to be a key person; there is a secret society (for the devil, instead of god), the search is through clues in an ancient manuscript, and the film is equally stupid.
