All in all, worth seeing in the cinema and I look forward to part 2. Watching this on a TV when it is eventually released is going to be a challenge. The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori is a new adult contemporary romance book about the love-hate relationship between Elena and her hot mafia boss brother-in-law Nicolas Russo. The colour palette of the film is very much earth tones and dark throughout. Given the overall look and tone of the movie a bit more adult consideration of the violence would be appreciated. I don't know if there is a deliberate attempt to keep the gore to a minimum for certification purposes but some more blood and guts would have complemented the style.
The humour is not as "in your face" as some of the Hollywood versions but there are definitely laughs in here and there is a degree of subtlety which I appreciated The fight scenes have benefited from some "Bournesque" stylising but, and I hesitate to write this, everything is somewhat bloodless. A good tight script with some excellent characters and superb performances. Is this version worth your time? In my opinion yes. If you have seen any previous Three Musketeers movie then you know the story.
