About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweeping, emotional tale of betrayal, escape, and payback with plenty of intrigue and grandeur, similar to The Three Musketeers - Part I: D'Artagnan; Not for you if you need nonstop action or strict faithfulness to the novel.
Pros: gripping revenge tale; lavish period atmosphere; strong lead performance | Cons: very long runtime; changes from the book; less action than expected
