This entertaining but very conventional adventure film is loosely based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Leonardo Di Caprio plays a dual role, the nasty King Louis Xiv and the mysterious man in the iron mask. However, it's the ageing musketeers who steal the show. Writer Randall Wallace makes his directorial debut.
