disappointment call it simple coincidence or gratuitous manipulation but whatever the reason you have to be suspicious of the timing of the release of the man in the iron mask in the film hunk du jour leonardo dicaprio whos setting hearts aflutter in titanic plays not one but two roles giving the film twice the teen beatappeal of the aforementioned disas ter flick masquerading as epic love story and guaranteeing high interest from the lucrative teenage girl market at the preview screening every dicaprio appearance and there were a lot of them prompted squeals and ohmy- gods throughout the theatre so it seems a little more than coincidental that as titanic is sailing off with record box office grosses along comes another dicaprio vehicle having said that however there are actually other reasons to give the man in the iron mask a miss the story which is based loosely on the alexandre dumas novel has dicaprio playing louis xiv the meanspirited young king of france who in order to secure his position as the ruler has imprisoned his secondsolder twin bother phillippe also dicaprio upon learning of this injustice three of the kings former muskateers and the captain of his screen scene stuart green guard the four musk a- teers of dumas better- known classic tale set out to replace the bad king with his good brother writerdirector randall wallace who penned braveheartfor mel gibson sets out to create a modern swashbuckling epic but ends up churn ing out a routine hollywood version of a clas sic story like braveheart this script is riddled with cliches and colloquial irony thats designed to make it more palatable for the masses the most unfortunate victims of this script are the supporting stars gabriel byrne john malkovich gerard depardieu and jeremy irons who are forced to act down to the dia logue they are all better than this for his part dicaprios performance is as bland and forgettable as his turn in titanic its hard to believe this is the same actor who was so excellent in what s eating gilbert grape far from the ribald swashbuckling tale it pre tends to be the man in the iron mask is a let down of epic proportions catch slowpoke at fullertons
