Very disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (5 September 2010)

Well I loaded this title into my DVD player with the anticipation of watching a star studded gritty film along the lines of Braveheart or Apocolypto, how disappointed I was. The film has very little story line, has some bloody moments but most battle scenes are a flurry and it's hard to tell who is battling who. Some scenes are ridiculous, for example someone having their throat slit with a 'Shhhting' noise (metal on metal) then immediately dropping dead, there are numerous others but I won't spoil. Other ridiculous elements are the mute waif of a woman portrayed as super warrior and killing everyone she come across, and all the actors were speaking with a modern south England accent.No effort made to portray a Scottish accent or speak in an appropriate manner for the period, but then the script probably didn't demand this. All in all a film resigned to the 'forget and never watch again' category.
