Vastly enjoyable--a stylish, affectionate, old-fashioned swashbuckler...staged with such elan that the result is completely winning.

Top Critic Despite its postdated irrelevance and its dopey title, this Daniel Auteuil vehicle is ludicrous fun.

Turns out to be a nifty swashbuckler whose plot easily could have been lifted from a number of Douglas Fairbanks silent pictures.

In the spirit of Voltaire and Molière, On Guard volleys great wit and deadly gestures in a milieu of lush apparel, landscapes, captivating music and 18th-century lacy sleeves.

A big, gorgeous, sprawling swashbuckler that delivers its diversions in grand, uncomplicated fashion.

“On Guard!” won’t be placed in the pantheon of the best of the swashbucklers but it is a whole lot of fun and you get to see the one of the world’s best actors, Daniel Auteuil, have a whale of a good time.
