7/10
great acting holds it up quite well
9 August 2003
i thought the movie was great until the point when Edmond (Caviezel) stops planning his revenge and puts his planning into action. Then the movie becomes quite boring and looses its suspense.

It was great watching how Edmond grew from an innocent man who knew nothing of why he was arrested to this determined and powerful count in search of revenge, especially since Caviezel plays his role so well. But after that the fun is simply over, the rest is only good acting with a story you can see in any other movie.

Even though Caviezel played his role really good it was Guy Pearce who stood for the best acting, from beginning to end he was able to have you both hate him and love him at the same time witch is very rare. Another person who played his role very convincing was Michael Wincott who played the Warden of d'If.

I give it 7/10 for good acting and a great book turned into an average movie
