A French comedy adventure directed by Gerard Krawczyk, starring Vincent Perez and Penelope Cruz.
A young man is caught in a haystack with a young woman and forced to marry her. During the ceremony he escapes, but is recruited into the army by accident. He is tied up and taken away in a carriage which happens upon some outlaws robbing nobles in the forest. The main character defeats the outlaws, saving the nobles. Thus begins a plot cluster-fuck of epic proportions.
The French can really do a swashbuckling adventure well! It was fast paced and full of action from start to finish. The plot was complex and a little confusing because of how fast it went. It was like sight-reading sheet music for a Dragonforce solo by Herman Li during a hurricane to read the subtitles. They went by fast as action crossed the screen at a dizzying pace. The main character was great: He was a skilled fighter, acrobat and womanizer. Speaking of women, all of the female characters wore deliciously low-cut dresses. I'm rating this good for being unique and of high quality.
