Review of The Musketeer (2001) by Steven Y — 01 Apr 2009
The Musketeer (2001) is a action fans dream (that's if you love stunt work and phenomenal sword play). Even though Peter Hyams is the credited director, the stunts and fight scenes were obviously directed by Hong Kong stunt master Xin-Xin Xiong.
Mr. Xiong's work can also be seen in the Tsui Hark action film TIME and TIDE. Never mind the tepid direction and mediocre acting, the only reason you'll want to watch this "period" piece are the incredible stunt work and action set pieces.
You'll be amazed by the swift sword play and the fast paced action cinematography. If you enjoy good stunts and amazing wire work then you must watch this movie. Forget the plot, this movie is pure eye candy for the action fans!
