Nothing short of everything you could possibly want out of an action film. The action is absolutely awesome. It's brutal, fast paced and wonderfully shot and edited. The cinematography is excellent and the plot isn't insulting at all. In fact, I can honestly say I consider it quite good!

This movie came out when I was in high school, and I loved it so much I wrote a substantial research paper on the "Beast of Gevaudan" for an english class. As far as action movies go, this one has to be my favorite.

Realy awesome fight scenes and f/x, and a heap of cool atmosphere. Monica Bellucci's breasts also.

Entertaining action sequences but overall a bit boring. The middle act was a slog. Give me less romance and historical politics and more beast hunting.

The movie is an explosion of genres, but I'm a sucker for the supernatural and historical fiction, so I loved it. Also, Monica Bellucci as a spy for Pope pretending to be a courtesan. Awesome.

Mentaculus | 79 70th |
|
A French-language Lone Ranger true-story historical fiction costume drama detective western about a mystic-occult conspiracy theory and Papal double-agents with horror overtones including an incest subplot and martial arts fight sequences bookended by a war and a moral about the French Revolution that all shockingly kinda works.

Has a lot of potential, but really fucks up the execution. The pacing was really off, and it got a bit too hokey for me as the story progressed, culminating in the revelation of the bone chain sword thing. Of interest.

Good: Somewhat engaging plot, well done action. Bad: Lame, mysterious-Indian subplot, and gimmicky use of slow-motion. French: Incest.

This one caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting much but came away entertained and satisfied. It felt like a blend of Last of the Mohicans and The Road Warrior in a 17th century French costume drama where everybody is kung-fu fighting! Great atmosphere, interesting characters, and entertaining action sequences. Points for pushing the boundaries and daring to be different.

Mistakes | 49 47th |

Mistake - When the members of the brotherhood beat up Mani until he is dead, they pick him up above their heads. The tattoo on his torso appears to be on his right side, whereas in previous and following scenes the tattoo is on his left side. That shot is flipped.

This is another highly dumb movie that I love because it has so many things I'm contractually obligated to love! Historical costumes, martial arts moves in flowing trenchcoats, sassy noblewomen, a gorgeous soundtrack, moody horror, the French Revolution? Sign me up please.
