THE MUSKETEER

'''The Musketeer''' is a Peter Hyams film very loosely based on Alexandre Dumas, père's classic novel ''The Three Musketeers'', starring Catherine Deneuve, Tim Roth, Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea, Nick Moran, Bill Treacher and Justin Chambers.
The film is notable for eschewing historical European swordfighting in its action sequences, for Hong Kong film-style martial arts choreography and wirework.
It is perhaps the first film adaptation to use d'Artagnan as its primary hero, making Athos, Porthos, and Aramis supporting players.
