Better than anticipated, and recommended. This is one of Pine's finer roles... he revealed a compassionate, humble dignity. His Scottish accent was wonderfully rendered... but I'm guessing that people from that region might have wished for a thicker accent. Pugh also did well, and her understated strength hit home. The production design and costumes were quite convincing, and I appreciate that the entire film was shot in Scotland, and the filmmakers took care to honor the Scottish borders which existed at that time. Overall, the writing was fairly good, but seemed lackluster in some scenes. Certain reviewers feel that this might have been better as a miniseries. While I see their point, I feel that the 2 hour run time was sufficient to highlight the key events.
