meganbmooreThis time around, Power plays a peasant masquerading as a noble who's a spy in the service of Cesare Borgia and is sent to win over-either by bribery, threats or assassination, whichever works best-a pesky duchy holding out against Cesare. In natural hero-in-need-of-redemption fashion, however, he naturally becomes friends with the elderly lord and his conveniently much younger and lovely wife(there is, of course, no hanky panky until after said lord has been dead for a respectable amount of time...would I approve otherwise?) and switches sides.
There's not enough action for most of the movie to bill it swashbuckler, but the whole thing is solid and the last 15 or so minutes IS almost pure swashbuckler, including fights, damsels, running downhallways, prisons, escapes, etc...like it was making up for not having enough in the rest of the movie, really.
Aah, if only the whole thing had been like the last 15 minutes...best one so far, though.
