Michael Caton-Jones directs Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange and Tim Roth in this Scottish historical adventure.

Dour and damp. Can’t decide whether it is a romp or a tragedy. Pulls away in distracting directions. Tim Roth’s delicious bastard of a villain and some Braveheart-level spikes of violent gore save it. I went to see this originally with my Dad at the multiplex but we are and always will be a Mad Mel house.
