Dick C @Joshua19930826 07/01/2024 It's movie with tragic reflections... See more michael d @RT08912548 02/05/2020 Much-abbreviated but surprisingly good adaptation of the classic novel . See more 10/27/2018 The film is illustrated with haunting, beautiful cinematography, gothic art direction, fantastic performances, and well executed direction. Although I love a good tragic tale, it never feels like a complete arc for the titular Monk and I wish it explored more of this in extended fashion.

Way much better overall, although still sounds kinda stiff in the old Frenchie way. See more 03/21/2015 Ah, the movie that made me want to never watch another French movie ever again. I like Vincent Cassell, the dude is a good actor and has awesome charisma on screen. You see that odd French guy on screen and you just like him for some reason. Same with this movie, I liked the character and I don't know why, but that didn't stop this movie from being TERRIBLE! I mean, I saw the twists coming from 15 miles away. I was 10 minutes in and was like, "Oh, look at that over there. This is going to turn into..." And it's not just that the movie was bad, this movie didn't leave me confused, this movie didn't even leave angry. This movie made me feel empty and made me never want to watch another movie again. I momentarily gave up movies for life before remembering that I had Knight's Tale in the DVD player and wat hing that instead. Not even Paul Bettany as Geophry Chauccer could help my mind be rid of the atrocity that is this film. Also, I feel that I should mention, kudos to Vincent Cassell on not being one of those actors where they'll get naked and the audience will be like, "GOD NO! I didn't want to see that! WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THAT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!!!" *Cough Shia Labeuff and Geffrey Rush cough*. Congratulations Cassell. You can pull off wearing that birthday suit without offending anyone.
