A good movie

Following respectively ‘The Thin Red Line’ and ‘Memento’, James Caviezel and Guy Pearce became hot properties and the studios decided to surf on their new found popularity and make this ambitious period piece. Well, even though I’m not a huge fan of the genre, I thought it was pretty good but, unfortunately, it was a flop and for both those guys their career never became as huge as some thought it would be (personally, I don’t really care, Guy Pearce remains a great actor no matter what). Coming back to our main feature, it is a classic of the French literature (as usual, I didn’t read it but don’t make a fuss about it) written by Alexandre Dumas père, the guy also responsible for ‘The Three Musketeers’. To be honest, even though I’m familiar with this tale, I don’t think I saw another adaptation before and I thought it was a pretty cool adventure flick, one of those flicks they don’t make anymore nowadays. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing or groundbreaking, I thought it was a pretty good flick, I really enjoyed it and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
