When Dorian first comes to London after the death of his grandfather, he is young and kind. After his portrait is painted by Basil, Dorian offers his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. His friend Henry draws Dorian into his decadent world and he becomes a completely different person.
This doesn't have very much substance and seems more like a made for TV movie? You really want Henry to leave Dorian alone and for Dorian to come to his senses. 2 1/2* (This movie is so-so)
112 min, Horror directed by Oliver Parker with Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Ben Chaplin, Rebecca Hall, Douglas Henshall, Rachel Hurd-Wood.
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.3 out of 10, 42% critic 43% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
