I have this one in my Netflix queue but it's not available yet. Has anyone seen it? I'm looking forward to some pike and musket action....

"Part military hero, part privateer, Capt. Alatriste (Viggo Mortensen) fights for imperial Spain and tries to keep a dangerous seductress (Elena Anaya) away from his young squire, Inigo (Unax Ugalde), in this adventure. Based on Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novels, the film follows 17th-century mercenary Alatriste as he woos beauty María de Castro (Ariadna Gil), honors a promise by keeping Inigo out of the war, and plots to destroy his sworn enemy."

I haven't seen that one yet but both my wife and I like Viggo Mortensen so I just added it to my NetFlix queue, thanks for the tip. Another not well known movie he did that we really liked is Hidalgo. This is about the love of a cowboy for his horse (real story) that takes him from a disappearing wild west life to the sands Arabia for an amazing horse race in the desert. Great story of love, passion for open spaces, adventure and nature. There a a few gun and arabic sword fights too - and pretty women too

I saw Hildago. I like Mortensen and my 13 year old daughter likes him as Aragorn over that "pretty boy" elf.
