Lame and unconvincing
Looked into due to Caviezel. What a disappointment. I do agree with a lot of others, it's a kind of selective extracts of the original story made into a wannabe pastiche of adventure. The worst Montecristo ever seen, I would say. Even the remarkable assembly of several actors of caliber can't save it. Would it be a TV production, you might shrug, but no, it's even a theatre production.
Best part probably is that it can pass as commercial for Malta with its landscapes and historic buildings.
Really wondering about others giving this shallow production a 10/10.
