Exhilarating!

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2007)

This starts of quite slowly and meanders here and there but once it takes off boy does it take off! Then it's non stop action with some of the most amazing battles scenes done with more conviction than I ever seen before. The cast are excellent throughout but especially Patrick McGoohan in his last (to date) great role as the nasty Longshanks. The scenery is breathtaking and the music works well even if it is almost identical to 'Titanic' which came two years later. But you have to hand it Gibson I don't think any director could have done a better job. It's a real feast for the heart,eyes and ears, with characters that have real depth and who you care about. A film that really satisfies and is exhilarating to watch. 9/10
