Funnily enough it’s one of my dads favorite movies. Now when I say breeze I mean that as a compliment. It’s not too complicated and not a whole lot of political or social commentary. It’s just a good old fashioned fun film to watch if you just want some adventure! It’s not to long. Just under 2 hours and manages to have a interesting and involving plot. How these bad men conspire to frame Edmond and solve their problems. The action scenes feel very realistic but also exciting. Jim Caviezel’s performance is so inspirational. He’s starts out good hearted but kinda dumb. His journey of being wrongly imprisoned is sad but you really root for him as he becomes this well educated and sophisticated count and enacts his revenge. Which is very satisfying to watch. Goes to show anyone can improve themselves with time and a good mentor. Richard Harris who also is very good. And Guy Pearce is so good he can play a good hero to here playing a nasty and pompous villain! Goes from being a good friend that protects Edmond to betraying him out of jealousy and his lust for Mercedes. Also I got to give shout out to Michael Wincott as the sadistic warden. He always plays villains but always plays them well. Plus a young Henry Cavill!
