Why didn't someone ever tell Charlton Heston to stivk to playing great Gung Ho American lumps. He was so good at that. But then, he didn't really have to act.

This attempt at Caledonia represents a no low in a career littered with miscastings.

Exactly what kind of Scots accent is he trying to effect here?

Scotland contains as rich a variety of brogues as can be found anywhere in the English speaking world. From soft border tones, tough Clydeside, to gorgeous Highland gaellic.

Just curling your lip and saying laddie and lass every few phrases doesn't do it.

A farcical piece of junk.
