A bit questionable...
I'm not even all the way through this movie yet and already I'm [upset] that I spent $3 to rent it. The acting is horrible, save for Tim Roth whose always great, and not-so-bad performances by Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea, and Catherine Deneuve.So really who does that leave? Justin Chambers. I can understand to a certain degree that he got the role with his pretty face to charm the women into sitting down in front of the screen, but damn...He's incapable of showing any emotion, and what emotion he does show is all in the same monotone voice. He's the only one who can't seem to pronounce his characters name, and his accent sounds suspiciously American for something based in France. Call me crazy, but it seems that in the 14 years between boyhood and young adult, poor D'Artagnan lost his accent. But never fear ladies, he takes of his shirt a couple times which apparently seems to make up for his lack of acting ability.As for the actual movie, I find it rather boring, and decidely so being that I'm writing this as I'm supposed to be watching it. I'm trying to tune out the incredibly elaborate, hollywood story and focusing on the action scenes because thats the only thing thats got my attention, and even that isn't so great, I've seen much better.Anyway, if you've got a few bucks burning a hole in your pocket, go ahead and rent this, give it a shot, I promise it won't hurt that bad. Now I guess I'll go ahead and finish watching this heap, I hear the final fight scene is truly *cough cough* amazing.
