In 7 words or less: Ye olde revenge flickBest bits? The stupid training montage with a decrepit Richard Harris that takes place in the prison, just about manages to be entertaining (note to self - watch Rocky IV for outstanding training montage)
Did it make you think thoughts? Defo, like why were yank and aussie actors playing french characters that spoke in upper class english accents? bizarre. I haven't read the book and couldn't be bothered to look up whether or not this adap is accurate and I guess that says it all really. It's not a bad movie but didn't shine either. The acting is ok apart from the dodgy accents, the story is pretty basic (boy falls for girl, friend also wants girl, friend betrays boy to get girl, boy plots revenge on friend, boy gets back with girl) and the action scenes just aren't that frequent or any good . In all honesty it felt like it should have been a tv special.
Would you watch it again? Nah. way too long for what it was.
