  Unnecessarily Bloody
  
  Clearly, this film was made to satisfy the kind of audience after graphic scenes of killing and torture. The film was predictable and the historical narrative ... read more »

  A surprisingly good yarn. The story is simple but earnest, the acting is sturdy and the fighting is gory! Paul Giamatti plays an emphatic and an hilarious crazy... read more »

  Pointless, watch Braveheart instead.
  
  So predictable and unoriginal it's difficult to see why they bothered to make this film. Little atmosphere, below average action and at best ok acting.
