Review of The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) by Kaitlyn B — 01 May 2012
The story is not the greatest. The director never gives us the true understanding of how horrible psychologically it must have been for Philippe to be locked in an iron mask for five years. I think this would have added a bit more suspense to the story.
The film does also have its dull moments and questionable dialog. Overall I find the story average with solid acting by the majority of the cast. The Man in the Iron Mask is not a great film by any means.
More of good acting with mediocre storytelling. The ending sequence is one of my favorite to date. The musical score is exceptional and the performances by DiCaprio and Bryne are great. recommend watching this film once.
