Customer Reviews

“Great Storms announce themselves with a simple breeze.”

Phillipe Gaston (Matthew Broderick), known as the mouse, has escaped from the hangman’s noose from the dungeon at Aquila. In the process, he meets Captain Etienne Navarre (Rutger Hauer), who is on a mission that will require Phillipe to return against his better judgment. What is this mission? We will see as the story unfolds and we are introduced to Isabeau d'Anjou (Michelle Pfeiffer). The story is of a love that went awry when the dark powers of hell spat up a terrible curse. Now Phillipe is part of the story. How will it unfold? The music does not really match the movie, but at least it does not overwhelm the dialogue. I know there is a soundtrack available. The movie is worth rewatching.
