Very intriguing, 24 May 2008

Since I'm always fascinated with anything Jekyll & Hyde, I never pass up an opportunity to see a movie version when it's on. And I must say that I didn't find this version disappointing at all. In fact, I found it quite interesting and intriguing.

This is a modern approach on the struggle between good and evil, and in this movie the struggle didn't turn out to be as much of a failure as in most versions. In this story, Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Dougray Scott) turns himself in to an attorney named Claire Wheaton (Krista Bridges). Even though she is willing to help him, when he tells her his condition, she doesn't quite understand or believe him until she sees it for herself. One thing leads to another and many twists and turns follow.

I found this version of Jekyll & Hyde to be a good one. It's a more original take for one, and it's really suspenseful. I won't give away the ending, but it's an ending you wouldn't normally expect. I look forward to seeing it again in the future. 10/10
