A classic, understated movie, more along the lines of Rob Roy than its illustrious predecessor Braveheart. It tells the tale of the real Robert the Bruce during the time he was at his lowest ebb, and has some hard decisions to make that will redirect the course of Scottish history. Beautifully shot and well-acted, it's a deeply moving portrayal of Scotland national hero.
A little gem of a film. It's primarily a character study, the first half taking place in the snowy moors of Caithness as we follow gamekeeper Guy Wallace, a curious relic from Britain's colonial past in deerstalker and muttonchops, as he goes about his daily routine. Filmaker David Graham Scott, a confirmed vegan, then accompanies his muse on safari to Africa, where the oddly-likable old curmudgeon takes part in his last big-game hunt. What's most impressive is the way the film-maker addresses his own feelings as he follows the hunt without being too heavy-handed or dainty. There is much to enjoy, from eye-opening, drunken confessions to hilarious interactions with the locals, this is superior film-making of the highest calibre.
