Musketeer

When his parents are slaughtered by Cardinal Richelieu's man, Febre (Tim Roth), the young D'Artagnan is raised to be a musketeer by the loyal Planchet (Jean-Pierre Castaldi). Fourteen years later, Planchet takes the now-grown D'Artagnan (Justin Chambers) to Paris. There, they discover that the king's musketeers have been disbanded, that Richelieu (Stephen Rea) is plotting to undermine the monarchy, and that Febre is barely under control. So, the upstart D'Artagnan boldly sets out to reinvigorate the musketeers and save the monarchy--while taking revenge on Febre. <br> <br> In this version of Alexandre Dumas' much-filmed classic, director Peter Hyams and scriptwriter Gene Quintano switch focus from The Three Musketeers to D'Artagnan.

Mixed in are fight sequences that utilize ...

Pros Tom Roth, different twist on familiar story
Cons Stiff acting, very little of the usual Musketeer comedy elements
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Photography at times, action sequences, at times, Roth, Deneuve
Cons Justin Chamber's flat affect, saturated darkness, and huh?
