Its hard to think of anything good to say about the movie. Well, the cinematography was good, but I think that's it. It's painfully boring and slow, I cannot emphasize that enough.
The accent by the leading lady is just shockingly bad, how on earth was she cast in the first place? Surely there are Scottish actresses out there that could have played the part, no? Or just anyone that can actually do the accent?
She also has perfect hair and teeth, which just seemed out of place. Quite sure there was a lack of dental care back then.
For a film about Robert the Bruce, he wasn't in it enough. It was more about the family hiding him than Robert the Bruce himself, which just made me sad that they would have such amazing Scottish hero as a character and learn so little about him during the movie. I didn't get the sense he was the main character at all, he was just the guy lying in the corner. They could have this "movie" 30 minutes long
Finally, why would you leave out the glorious battle?! I couldn't help but feel disappointed about this missed opportunity. Maybe this story would have been told better as a series instead of movie, then this could have been that one boring and slow filler episode.
If you don't watch this, don't worry, you miss nothing.
