Who else could play William Wallace a defiant Scotsman, but Mel Gibson

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2002)

This late 90's version of the Scottish rebellion against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks, tells as much about us as it does Scottish history. But who can complain about a chance to see Mel Gibsons gams??? This film should have enough action and violence to keep the men in your group happy. Based on the historic figures William Wallace and Robert the Bruce this is still a thrilling romp through history. The final scenes a reminder there were no lethal injections for the condeemed in the 13th century. Mel stays ruggedly handsome to the end.
