Review of On Guard (1997) by Pete B — 10 Dec 2007
What do I want from a period french action film? Swashbuckling swordfights - check. Inconceivable yet compelling storyline - check. Riders thundering through picturesque countryside - check. Gratuitous glimpse of bottom belonging to borderline underage girl - check. Incestuous undertones - too right.
This is no classic of French cinema, but it's fun, thrilling and Auteil gets to show his immense versatility as an actor again. They've built a whole industry on it, you know.
