Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The swordplay never ends in this dazzling, Dumas-like adventure of conspiracy and revenge, set around 1700 and presented here in its seventh filmed incarnation, directed by French New Wave titan Philippe de Broca (That Man from Rio). Daniel Auteuil plays Legardere, a callow swordsman who becomes friend to and bodyguard of the Duke of Nevers (Vincent Perez). When the latter is assassinated by his scheming cousin, Gonzague (Fabrice Luchini), Nevers's daughter, Aurore (Marie Gillain), is left in the care of Legardere, who raises her within the protective camouflage of a traveling troupe of actors. Years later, back in Paris, Legardere exacts a complicated retribution under Gonzague's nose, determined to give Aurore the life and inheritance she deserves. This exceptionally handsome film is an all-out adventure, but the witty de Broca is not one to settle for mere derring-do. The great Auteuil (The Girl on the Bridge) proves as funny as he is heroic. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - great movie
this is a great movie. the action keeps coming and there arnt to many lulls. this is a must have for fans of fencing/swashbuckeling movies. it is one of my new favs.
Rating: - Awesome movie.
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time. And that's saying a lot, since I usually go for straight up genre (horror, action) and not the more literary types of films that this clearly falls into.
Rating: - If you like the Three Musketeers...
This French feature film (with English subtitles) is *not* a Three Musketeers story -- but it has similar attractions. Set in the same epoch, it has sword fights, chases, disguises, pomp, and humor and wit as well as action and drama. The actors took pains to learn how to fence, and the sword fighting looks appropriately lethal. The story is tightly written, the acting outstanding, and the story surprisingly fresh. A movie to enjoy rather than endure.
Rating: - A rollicking Swashbuckler
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie so much, that I immediadtely bought duplicates for friends and family.
Rating:  - A very pleasant surprise
Amazon's one-click feature, combined with Amazon prime, is an excllent tool (for them!) in that, at least in my case, it drives a lot of impulse buying. I find myself browsing through my recommended items lists one-clicking my way towards a smaller bank account and a huge pile of books and DVDs I'll never find the time to make it through.
On Guard was one of those items that, when it arrived, I thought to myself "what the hell was I thinking when I bought this?". It had been recommended ... Read More
