A Fine tale

This is a film for those of us who take a lot of interest in world history particularly in the politics that transpired between England and her surrounding islands. The battle scenes do not come close to the ones in such flicks like "Braveheart", but beyond that the whole production shows the power of the human spirit(the Wallace clan) in challenging the might of the oppressors(the English)
