Performances Mel Gibson commands the screen with a raw, visceral performance—part prophet, part avenger. He’s convincing as a charismatic leader even when the script leans into myth-making. Sophie Marceau brings vulnerability and grace as Murron/Princess Isabella, though her character occasionally feels underwritten. Supporting actors—Brendan Gleeson, Patrick McGoohan, and James Cosmo—add texture, grounding the film’s larger-than-life moments with credible presence.
