1/10
abysmal in every detail
7 November 2006
Firstly let me confess I turned it off after 30 minutes.

I hated everything about it, particularly the music, which was Irish and not Scottish. That typified what I saw of the film - slapdash, clumsy, lazy film-making that is an insult to its audience's intelligence. It's not that I'm nit-picking or being perfectionist, this film is really rough in the way it handles everything (in the first 30 minutes). Every character, every scene, every bit of dialogue, every bit of storytelling is so short of believability that it completely failed to weave any kind of spell over me at all.

There is one thing in the film worth seeing, though, which is Mel Gibson doing what he imagines to be a Scottish accent. Hilarious.
