Stone of Destiny

This Canada/UK co-production was the closing film at last year’s Toronto Film Festival.

The film tells the true story about a group of Scottish youths that break into Westminster Abbey to steal back the Stone of Destiny and reignite Scottish national pride.

It was overall a nice little film. I have some Scottish/Irish background, so I was particular interested in seeing this little bit of history (the Scottish scenery is probably also the best in the world).

It was definitely a better pick than the new releases this weekend.
