This was a very emotional experience, this film deserves every bit of praise it gets, with an incredible story, and an Oscar worthy performance from Mel Gibson!. All the characters are wonderful, and the story is just brilliant!, plus Mel Gibson is simply incredible in this!. To be quite honest i was expecting to hate this film, since it's generally not my type of movie, however i am a big fan of Gibson's and the movie is praised everywhere so i decided to check out, and i must say it's as good as everyone says it is!, plus the ending is extremely powerful, and left me staring at the screen in awe!. i found the mooning scene to be fairly humorous, and this has to be one of the more violent films i have seen in a while, plus The direction is simply phenomenal, Mel deserved his Oscar in that department!. it's extremely well written and made, and all the characters were very likable!, plus i was rooting for Mel all the way, and was sad with what happened to him. The opening is very memorable and quite disturbing, and the dialog is wonderful, plus i loved Mel's Scottish accent!.
I loved the scenes between Mel and Catherine McCormack!, and not minute was boring, as it was constantly engrossing!, plus The setting was great, and felt very real. Mel had wonderful chemistry with,Catherine McCormack,James Cosmo and Sophie Marceau!, and the cinematography was just beautiful!, plus this film deserves the spot it has right now at IMDb's top 250!. It does run a tad long, but it was never overlong or boring, and the score is simply magnificent!, plus the finale while wonderful, is very hard to watch!. I cannot believe 2367 people voted this a 1! and i must say, the battle scenes are some of the most exciting i have ever seen!. This film was a very emotional experience, and it deserves every bit of praise it gets, with an incredible story and an Oscar worthy performance from Mel Gibson!, and if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? Do so immediately, and even if you don't like this sort of thing check it out anyway you might be really surprised!.
The Direction is phenomenal!. Mel Gibson does a phenomenal job here, while nothing fancy, it's still incredible, with wonderful camera work, and just keeping the film powerful, and very engrossing throughout!, he deserved his Oscar in this department!, in my opinion.
As for the violence, No comments, i'll just say it's extremely bloody and violent, see for yourself.
The Acting is Oscar worthy!.Mel Gibson is amazing as always, and delivers an Oscar worthy performance here, he was extremely likable, incredibly convincing, was a man of courage and honor, who fought for revenge and his country, and you will be rooting for him all the way, and approving on how he decides to handle it, i just wished what happened at the end to his character didn't happen!, he was incredible!. (Gibson Rules!!!!). James Cosmo was fantastic here!, he had a great looking beard, , was very likable, and had wonderful chemistry with Gibson!, i really liked him. Catherine McCormack is stunningly gorgeous and was simply wonderful here, i just wished she had more screen time!,cause she was wonderful, and had great chemistry with Gibson, she was also very charming. Brian Cox has a small role, but he had presence as always, and did fine with it. Patrick McGoohan and Peter Hanly are both very intense and do fantastic!. Sophie Marceau is beautiful and is excellent with what she had to do i really liked her. Brendan Gleeson is fine as well. Rest of the cast are fantastic.
Overall if you haven't seen it what the hell are you waiting for? Do so immediately even if you hate this genre!., you might just be really surprised!. ***** out of 5, it's one of the best films ever!.
