Riveting from beginning to end

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2001)

Although I am a huge Gibson fan, I must say by far that BRAVEHEART is absolutely excellent. The story of William Wallace portrayed by Mel shows him as a serious actor that brought out so much from what I feel to come from deep inside. The love, the tenacity, the conviction of one man to unite this timeless tale just totally enraptured me. I have seen this movie in both English and French (which I don't really like to watch translated American movies, it just doesn't work for me) and even in French, I could not let go. The sound track is absolutely marvelous... you close your eyes and you are taken back to the movie.
