All For Naught ...
This ... um ... "adaptation" owes far more to the Hong Kong cinema of Jackie Chan than it does to the seminal work of Alexandre Dumas. Indeed, the credits on the DVD flap do not even credit Dumas's work as the inspiration for the script.Mastering the one-note delivery and obvious graduate of the Evelyn Wood School for Former Models Turned Actors, newcomer Justin Chambers keeps his delivery monotone while promising upstart Mena Suvari is absolutely wasted. It's hard to tell if even the action is enjoying as horrible lighting and cinematography waste nearly even frame of it.As a side interest as to how bad this film truly is, everyone in the flick has an accent of European accent EXCEPT for the two young American leads, making them appear dreadfully out of place.Honestly, don't bother.
