The GREATEST FILM EVER MADE !!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2001)

Mel Gibson spent a good few years in getting this film made .... and it was COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED. Mr Gibson has always been one of my favorite actors, but his greatest success by far was in the production and direction of this SUPERB movie. Although the movie itself is almost 3 hours long, it is totally absorbing from beginning to end. I first saw this film as a special preview, and had to take the very last seat in the cinema, which of course was the worst possible one. The film was just so amazing that I didn't move a muscle for the entire film, even though I was sat at a very uncomfortable angle. The 3 hours seemed to fly by, so much so that I was late for an appointment, as I just hadn't realised how long the film was, and I never checked my watch once. Everything about this movie deserves the highest praise indeed, including Mr Gibson's Scottish accent. I have watched this film time and time again, and it never ceases to impress, or indeed move me, as certain scenes seem to provoke a tearful response at every viewing. Well done Mel, I don't believe ANY film will EVER surpass this MASTERPIECE !!!
