An amazing story you got to see.

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2001)

Mel Gibson has done an amazing job directing and playing the lead role in this fantastic movie.
The movie is about William Wallace,who is a commoner and how he unites the 13th Century Scots in their battle to overthrow English rule.
This is a tragic story about men and women who have lost their freedom and how they are willing to do everything to get it back. The battle scenes are the best I have ever seen with over thousands men fighting.But they are also very brutal and shows how many innocent who looses their lives. The movie shows also how William Wallace's wife is taken from him and that he is willing to do everything to avenge her death.
All the actors are very convincing and you really get the feeling of how it must have been to live in the 13th Century. The music to the movie is also wonderful and it helps creating a tragic atmosphere at the battlefields and funerals.
This is one of the few really great movies I have seen and I never get tired of watching it.
Mel Gibson's best role ever.
I give it a 9 out of 10.
A wonderful movie.
