An invigorating medieval-style epic!

"I love the bones of you, Robert McGregor, but you take too much to heart that canna' be helped."

At its heart, Rob Roy is Braveheart donning a new kilt distinctively suited for the thinking audience. Ultimately the film is an invigorating period adventure criminally buried and forgotten due to its meagre box office reception. In general, critics and audiences collectively bequeathe... read more

I hate Braveheart with an insane passion, loathe the movie and everything it stands for. Part of that is because the nationalism on show in the film always creeped me out a bit and part of it is because it managed to eclipse this absolute gem of a film.

It's a move that is consistently in my top 50, an all time favourite and part of that is because there's a sense of verisimilitude to... read more

It is not uncommon that, within a rather short-time periode, the studios would release two similar movies (see last year 'The Legend of Hercules' and 'Hercules').

"24.7. Liam Neeson päättää ryhtyä yrittäjäksi, mutta Tim Rothin esittämä ylipaha ja epämiehekäs (koska 90-luvulla epämiehekkyys oli automaattisesti paha asia) aatelisperheen äpärälapsi varastaa rahat ja aiheuttaa Neesonille isot velat. Sen jälkeen viuhutellaan miekkaa ilman magiaa ja nautin sellaisesta suunnattomasti. Miehinen kunniakäsitys on elokuvan maailmassa kaikkein tärkeintä, mikä on noin historiallisen elokuvan tapauksessa kaiketi hyväksyttävää, koska aika on ollu"
