One of my favourite films of all time. Based on the book by Alexandre Dumas, who also penned The Three Musketeers, it's a story of innocence and love, jealousy and betrayal, revenge and it's consequences. It's full of lavish costumes and sets with plenty of action especially the swashbuckling kind. Jim Caviezel is perfectly cast as our hero whose whole life is turned upside down by the jealous actions of one man (Guy Pearce) whom he imagined to be his best friend, of the suffering and cruelty he goes through in a prison dungeon on an isolated island and of his eventual rise to unimaginable wealth through a rather 'unexpected' encounter with a charismatic fellow prisoner (Richard Harris). Look out also for a very youthful Henry Cavill (Superman) as Pearce's son. If you want an intriguing family action film, then this film is a great one to try!Read full review

This is one of my favourite films I watch it over and over again at first I wasn’t sure because I loved the original version with Richard Chamberlain however I thought that I would give it a go and I am glad that I did as this version tells the story more the time that Edmund Dante’s spends in prison for a crime he did not commit to him getting revenge no I would call it justice I won’t say anymore because you must judge for yourself and I don’t want to give too much away
