The Count of Monte Cristo is a 2002 adventure drama film adapted from the book of the same name written by Alexandre Dumas. Sentenced to life on the remote island prison because of his jealous 'friend', he decides to escape and plan for revenge.
All in all, it's a pretty good execution of a story that's a lot richer than the ones Hollywood action screenwriters usually come up with on their own.
A rousingly old-fashioned swashbuckler with an abundance of vigorous action and nary a trace of wink-wink irony.
