Highlander (15)

Plot
Born into medieval Scotland, Connor McLeod (Lambert) is 'immortal'. One of a breed, competing for a prize for which "there can be only one", which involves duelling with others of his kind until one loses their head. Come the present day, the list has shortened to a handful.

Verdict
It's clumsyily put together and it makes bugger all sense, but dammit, there's something alluring about this story. Don't go in expecting too much and you should be ok. And for God's sake - stay away from the sequels.
