Man, did this one suck. Unfortunately, I was watching it at the Red Cross while doing apheresis (plasma donation) and was a completely captive audience...couldn't even grab the remote and turn it off, sorely though I wanted to.

Hey, guys! Let's cut out all that boring character development and put in some SWORDFIGHTS instead! That's the ticket!!

and so they did...

Not to mention rewriting it to lose years of his prison sentence, most of his motivation, and the whole ending. Give me a break! He doesn't end up with Mercedes, he sails off into the sunset with his 17 year old Greek slave girl who adores him (I'm not kidding about this, read the book...)

Silly and kinda dumb. I like Jim Caviezel, but he's not worth this one. And what was Richard Harris thinking? Is he desperate for money or something? Especially taking his shirt off, not a good idea at his age and in his condition...ew.

Leave this one in the Chateau D'If and read the book instead, you'll be glad you did.
