“The Count of Monte Cristo is such an under-rated gem. Great performances, exciting story, and a fun wit, this film has everything that was terrific in Dumasu0026#39; original novel and then twists it all up to adapt perfectly to the screen but doesnu0026#39;t stray to far.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut is perfectly to strong a word? Of course not. Monte Cristo boasts the talent of both Guy Pearce and Jim Caviezal as former friends who have turned against each other in the epic-set Napoleanic French era. As Caviezal grows more throughout the film, Pearce becomes more and more a monster basking in his own greed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe late Richard Harris is very bold in one of his final performances and Luis Guzman is perfect as Monte Cristos right-hand man.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSee this film and reccomend it. It truly deserves better than what audiences gave it last year.”
