An outstanding, historical classic!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2016)

This was an extremely well told version of William Wallace's life and the battles he lead to free Scotland from the tyrannical forces of England. This was probably Mel Gibson's and Angus McFadden's best performances. The music and scenery added a lot to this riveting saga that includes some of the most emotional performances that I have ever seen. It is intense and some of it can be hard to watch (like most war movies are) and the entire film kept me involved and glued to it. This was not only well directed from beginning to end, but the the screenplay is a masterpiece. I have it in my top 100 and this is an absolute must see, whether you are looking for dramas, action, history, romance,or just one of the best color movies ever made.
