Say what you want about Mel Gibson, I've said my fair share, the guy can make a good movie.
Both the plot and story are simple but effective.
The acting's great.
You want the villains to die, and for the hero to succeed.
Apparently, it's historically inaccurate, but at least the movie as a whole isn't bad.
It gets about everything right, except... There are a few conveniences.
Some of the editing during the fight scenes can be distracting.
And some of the practical effects, though competently done, do show their age.
Fair warning: Don't watch it if you don't like brutal violence and lots of gore.
