Robert Duvall was great as a lost soul and Gary Oldman always plays a good part. Some over the top gore helped me get though this one, it was slow at times.

Though this version of Hawthorne's book has a few slow moments and is definitely "freely adapted", as the credits indicate, it is well-shot and well put together. The performances are mostly first rate - particularly that of Gary Oldman, who never fails to amaze with his character depth and linguistic ability. Moore, however, though fairly adept at portraying strong women, appears to be beyond her range with this sort of period piece. The sexualizing of the film referred to by critics is probably based on the frequent use of Moore's aesthetics to increase the appeal of film. -Well worth watching for any fan of the original novel or period film.
