Viggo Mortensen plays (very well) Diego Alatriste, a soldier in the Spain of the 17th century, with his blade and his wits he must not only survive battles but also political intrigues in the Spanish Court.
A fine historical movie with very good production and acting and an exquisite atmosphere. Far better than most "hollywoodized" movies playing in European historical times. Worth your attention - if you like to watch such kind of movies.
