3 MUSKETEERS

Cinemavixion Review

Cole S. McKay's 2011 action thriller, "3 Musketeers," offers a contemporary twist on the classic tale of loyalty and espionage. Starring David Chokachi, Heather Hemmens, and Xin Sarith Wuku, the film centers on Alexandra D'Artagnan, a junior NSA operative who stumbles upon a deadly plot to assassinate the American president. To thwart this conspiracy, Alexandra enlists the aid of three formidable international spies. While the film may not reach the heights of its literary namesake, it provides a brisk, albeit somewhat derivative, espionage narrative. With a runtime of 87 minutes, "3 Musketeers" delivers a straightforward action plot that might appeal to fans of modern spy thrillers, even if critical reception, indicated by a 2.4 IMDb rating, suggests a less-than-stellar execution.
