| Mel Gibson stars on both sides of the camera, playing the lead role plus directing and producing this brawling, richly-detailed saga of fierce combat, tender love, and the will to risk all that's precious for something more precious: freedom. In an emotionall charged performance, Gibson is William Wallace, a bold Scotsman who used the steel of his blade, and the fire of his intellect to rally his countrymen to liberation. Filled with sword-clanging spectacle, Braveheart is a tumultous tapestry of history come alive. |
