In 19th-century Marseille, Edmond Danths (Jim Caviezel) is the optimistic but uneducated son of a sea captain.

Years of isolation and torture nearly defeat the revenge-thirsty Danths, but with the help of invaluable lessons from the Abbi Faria (Richard Harris), his luck slowly changes. An incredible prison break starts Danths on his way to a new life, and from there Reynolds' COUNT truly t...

GOD WILL BRING ME JUSTICE

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Worth the price - even if you have read the classic. Despite a number of changes from the print version, The Count of Monte Cristo transitioned fairly well to screen.
Review: Yesterday I played hooky from work for a couple of hours. Mrs. G had been feeling low and I decided to squire her to an afternoon matinee. She had originally wanted to see A Beautiful Mind. She reconsidered such a dark choice and we decided to take...

The Count of Monte Cristo: Good looking actors and stunts

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2002
The Bottom Line: Very well done adaptation of a classic novel. Great fun for costume and fencing junkies, you won't be disappointed.
Review: Given what Hollywood did to the last adaptation of a Dumas' novel -- the horrible Man in the Iron Mask, -- I was pretty hesitant about sitting through this one, and decided to wait until I could watch it on dvd. Now I'm sorry I did not get to see...
