Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $6.10
I like Kevin Costner movies. They're too the point with very good directing. This is a western, but it's basically like "Last of the Mohicans" or "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. This is basically the point of view of a westerner being introduced to a way or culture of a certain indigenous people.

' A great action film about the Scots battling the English. I don't know if it's a true story, but I believe there was a man called William Wallace, who led battles against the English. I'm not sure, . . check the reviews, they may shed . . or probably will shed more light on this.

Man With the Movie CameraMan With the Movie Camera
