I know little of rapier, but Anders Linnard, a HEMA instructor and Swordfish champion, says of this scene:
"It’s a great film and has some quite good fencing, displaying the use of rapier and dagger, scrapping, kicking, disarms, as well as the use of a cape. However, it still suffers from some typical movie errors now and then, which a fencer will spot immediately. Examples include pulling back the hand before thrusting and parrying wildly in what is intended to look like intense and close to panicking moves, but given how timed they are, they just look choreographed."
