Braveheart USA

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2006)

So Rolle's made more than Stargate, ID4, and Godzilla! And it's a nice cast too. Jason Isaacs takes the bad guy to a new level, paralleling Alan Rickman at his sleaziest and putting so much creepiness into the role - a method of portrayal far from what Max von Sydow does for example. Joely Richardson is excellent, as is Heath, as is Tom Wilkinson in a small role. And the music by John Williams, usually horrible, is almost palatable, save for the fact he seems to be plagiarising a lot of Xmas songs.
And you might wonder what for all the blood and gore or what it all is supposed to be about, for it surely doesn't make sense on any level, but then you'd be begging the obvious, for in the lead role you have the person who makes it all fall apart.
It's just impossible to watch a movie with that creep anymore and come away feeling good and not totally disgusted.
