I have seen one of the Jekyll-and-Hyde films so far. But this one is much better since it shows Hyde as he was described in the novel: as a person that seems different looking although there is no obvious malformation present (like it was overdone in the "League of the extraordinary gentlemen" and also in the movie from 1931). John Hannah demonstrates perfectly here that the evil does not have to be connected to a horrible look. He did a great job working out the psychological dark side of this tragic figure. The changes from Jekyll to Hyde were brilliantly filmed. For everybody who is interested in the novel this film is certainly a must-see.

I'm with Lucy

Nice entertainment
7 September 2002
This movie is a very nice light entertainment. Nothing really impressive (I wouldn't go see it three or four times) but a nice story line and the actors are well chosen. Hope it will be shown not only in France, it certainly deserves more attention.
