Director: Michael Caton-Jones
Cast: Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth, John Hurt, Eric Stoltz

An enjoyable but rather unremarkable drama about a real-life Scottish folk hero who fought the brutal landowners in the 18th century. The film would probably fare better if it hadn't come out at the same time with the superior Braveheart. Liam Neeson is a charismatic hero and Tim Roth is a wonderfully slimy villain.
