Video review: Rousing rekindling of Dumas classic

IN The Count Of Monte Cristo, a highly entertaining, beautifully photographed rekindling of the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas, director Kevin Reynolds choreographs a fantastic adventure replete with breathtaking scenery, fiery swashbuckling battles, lavish costumes, and, above all else, sweet revenge.

In 19th Century Marseille, Edmond Dantes (Jim Caviezel) is the optimistic but uneducated son of a sea captain.
