The Jester character was very talented, although his was a small bit part I felt he deserves an honorable mention for his performance and also the writer who created this unique character did something cool that I've never seen before; a new twist on the Jesters range, if you will (for lack of a better way to express it)...
Christopher Lambert did a superb job for his character as it was written. His char was tough and realistic but not Superman which means he didn't have it easy...
The backdrop of this fictional story takes place after the Jews were driven out of Spain. Having previously read the historical novel "By Fire, By Water" I was already familiar with the time period and true events that took place concerning the Jewish exile from Spain and so I understood this movie better than the person I watched it with (although you don't need to know this)
The scenery and costumes were period pieces that added a lot to the flavor of the movie but the best part is the well conceived plot and the twists and secrets that aren't revealed so easily...
