Mel Gibson's Crowning Achievement

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 1998)

Mel Gibson's generally known only for his acting, but this project proves that he's got the talent to be a top director as well.
The screenplay, acting and score all excel; an easy pick for best picture.
More than just a movie, Braveheart is film-making as an art. This is a cinematic experience -- a true composition of sight, sound and excitement. Oddly, I've never known an action movie that could move men, in particular, to tears so effectively.
Be warned: Braveheart contains a lot of bloody medieval hand-to-hand combat. If this type of content offends you, it could ruin the experience.
