The Three Musketeers Part II: Milady movie review
This historical action-adventure adapted from Alexander Dumas’ stories, is authentic enough and continues gung-ho on an enjoyable romp with old-fashioned swash-buckling Dumas characters. ‘D’Artagnan’ was first off the block, now it’s the turn of the second part, ‘Milady.’
Constance (Lyna Khoudri) has been kidnapped and D’Artagnan (François Civil) is determined to get her back. But the almost fatal attack on King Louis XIII (Louis Garrel) has caused an upheaval. The musketeers are determined to catch the ringleader of that plot before Constance can be rescued. In the meanwhile, the kingdom is plunged into a chaotic internal war. The malevolent Cardinal Richelieu (Eric Ruf) is a suspect and so are the the Queen (Vicky Krieps), her not-so-secret English lover Buckingham (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), and maybe, other disgruntled noblemen. D’Artagnan gets his first clue when he inadvertently rescues Milady (Eva Green) from a prison, armed with a secret, coded letter.
