Terrific action-packed adventure with a retired Zorro, Anthony Hopkins, showing the ropes to a young Antonio Banderas. Both wish to extract revenge on the men for the killing of a wife and brother,respectively.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was in fine form as Hopkins's real daughter, stolen away by the man who loved her mother and watched her being shot to death accidentally by one of the soldiers.
The story is wonderful with some history of Santa Ana in California.
The dueling sequences are terrific as Banderas quickly learns the techniques from the pro Hopkins.
How can you miss with a picture where the villain wants to buy California from Santa Ana and pay for it by using the latter's gold and enslaving people in the process to extract it?
