Reviews for Alatriste
1 - 4 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
In this adaptation of the popular Spanish novels, there's political intrigue, unrequited love, and epic battle scenes but the sheer quantity of events can't distract from the film's lack of quality moments and depth; U.S. theatrical prospects are iffy
02/10/07
Its visual flair and some good perfs by well-known contempo Spanish actors cannot redeem an over-episodic, over-busy script with little dramatic undertow.

Top CriticThe Arturo Perez-Reverte novels come to vivid life in this beautifully shot, if unevenly paced epic.
