Now straight-off it has to be said that this is one gorgeous
movie. The photography is rich and grand with a sumptuous
hint of Barry Lyndon.
The main characters are Gregoire de Fronzac (Samuel Le Bihan)
and his Mohawk friend Mani (Mark Dacascos) who find themselves
on the trail of a murderous beast that is chomping its way
through the inhabitants of Gevaudan.
The pair don't get a lot of help from the surly locals,
but they have fighting skills that are second to none and
don't really need the yokels.
Some of the fight scenes they get involved in are sensational
and will delight action fans. The Beast itself is, however,
a bit of a worry and when you finally get to see it Brotherhood
of the Wolf loses a bit of its drama.
All in all, though, this is a great bit of entertainment.
The video transfer is brilliant and the sound is very good.
By the way it is dubbed in English.
Conclusion: 80% Extras: 85%.
