Contribution from Susan:
Dear Editor,
Check out the first sentence of the description of this movie. With a company as big as Netflix, you'd think they'd spend the extra $100,000 [editor's note: or even $50,000] a year for an editor. Netflix, you need an editor.
The Count of Monte Cristo
2002 | PG 13 | 131 minutes
In this beautifully photographed rekindling of the classic Alexandre Dumas story. Edmond Dantés's (Jim Caviezel) life and plans to marry the beautiful Mercedes (Dagmara Dominczyk) are shattered when his best friend, Fernand (Guy Pearce), deceives him. After spending 13 miserable years in prison, Dantés escapes with the help of a fellow inmate (Richard Harris) and plots his revenge, cleverly insinuating himself into the French nobility.
-----
Also: the passive voice makes the second sentence quite cumbersome.
