Not for the faint of heart or weak of will

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2002)

Ok, so the movie's not historically accurate. So it took liberties with characters and time. It was, and is, still an incredible directorial work by Mel Gibson. The man deserved his Oscars. This movie is, in turns, tender and exciting, horrifying and comforting. It'll move you to new bravery and glory, and then break your heart. Stand out characters of Stephen and Hamish delight and amuse. Wallace was inspiring, and Angus Macfayden is incredible. Well acted, well directed, this movie is a must have for the video/dvd library.
