Product: The Musketeer (2001)
Rating: 3.0
All for one, and, oh yeah, those other three guys too.
This is not a Three Musketeers movie. It's a D'Artagon movie with supporting roles for the Three Musketeers. Catherine Deneuve is exquisite, as always. And Tim Roth is, well, Tim Roth. One nasty, psycopathic s.o.b. The stunts and fight scenes could fit very well into a Jackie Chan film. Maybe the Chinese stunt coordinator had something to do with it. Ya think?? The movie it self has lots and lots of action and not as much comedic stuff as past films. Which is good. But, it does have some good comedic banter. Like in the banquet scene, where a woman is inquiring about the length of D'Artagnon "sword". Very cheeky indeed.I think they could have toned down some of the Jackie Chan-esque stunts (Like the scene where D'Artagnon is climbing a tower wall on a rope, while fighting with four or five guys). It's just too much. But all in all, good action and great sword fighting, an absolute must in ANY Musketeer film, and unfotunately, sorely lacking in most. So, it's All for one and, oh yeah, those other three guys too. En garde!
