I am going to start by saying that the accents in this film are diabolical. Apart from the main star, Angus McFadyen, I found it painful to listen to everyone attempting to try a generic Scottish accent. For this reason I am deducting stars, because I couldn't concentrate on the plot.
The film runs at a very slow pace, which does add to the atmosphere but almost at the detriment of keeping the viewer's interest.
On the plus Angus McFadyen is great in the role as Robert and it is truly wonderful to see him in this role again (after 24 years since Braveheart). The action that we see is very well done and you can tell there is a lot of love in this film.
I would recommend this as a film you could watch in an afternoon but I wouldn't say that this is a film I would desperately go out of my way see otherwise.
