A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The knight in the shiny armor scenes are the greatest! I couldn't stop laughing. What a great piece of comedy. Fantastic!
