A Great Deal Of Fun
This movie is highly enjoyable action and adventure. Miller and Carlyle are an excellent team and manage to give really good performances with a less-than-excellent script. Some of the period detail is extremely interesting (what period detail there is). The reason I gave it three stars instead of four are: 1)There is some really disgusting, out-of-the-ordinary violence in it; 2)The anachronisms are kind of annoying (would even a rich aristocrat admit he "swings every way" when homosexuality was a hanging offense? Would a young lady of fashion leave off powdering her hair when *everyone* powdered?) and 3) the plot is pretty thin. However, it is fun and undemanding entertainment, and if you're not in a critical mood should do just fine for a video date.
