Viggo Mortenson in The Spanish Musketeer/Captain Alatriste.
Much better than either Henry of Navarre (far too long) and 1612 (still trying to work out all the Russian-Polish-Spanish connections - all with English subtitles) neither of which lived up to their alleged grisley descriptions BTW (although the depiction of the Polish Winged Hussars in 1612 seemed to be very good)
Anyhoo...The Spanish Musketeer, 17th C Spain and a sword for hire mercenary. Very good story, excellent atmposphere and a steady stream of pathos, misery and stoicism beautifully portrayed by Mortenson (in Spanish). Good film but certainly a 15+

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
