The Count of Monte-Cristo (out Apr 10) is a 178-minute French epic based on Alexandre Dumas's iconic novel. The first hour is slow but it gets moving after that. An interesting revenge tale as we watch the hero (if you can call him that) give the quality villains what they deserved. Loved the music score of composer Jérôme Rebotier. Grade: B+.
