Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful plot and believable characters,the villan is a guy you just love to hate. Set in 18th century Scotland complete with all the accoutrements of the time,very well done historically making you feel your back in time.

This is not a perfect film; what work of art is perfect? Still, this is a truly great film. It features great actors; spectacular scenery; an excellent sound track; a good story line: in short, it's a damned beautiful and entertaining film.Movie Review: Rob Roy
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of 18th century adventures,this is an excellent Scotish adventure film worth having in your home video or CD library.Movie Review: Folklore at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was truly outstanding. The "hollywood" touch was done to a minimum and they actually tried to make a movie that was historically plausible. Although what is known about this subject is mostly folklore at this point, the story was good and the costume and scenery was authentic.
Liam Neeson's and Jessica Lange's performances were unbelievable. You truly thought that they had a love for each other that not only lasted into their years of marriage it got stronger.
There were no great speeches made during this film because it didn't need them. There were no huge magnificent but wholly unrealistic battle scenes because the story was strong enough to do without them. Rob Roy did not need to be the strongest, the smartest, or the swiftest hero because he was the most resilient. He didn't need to be betrayed by his friends to make the story intriguing, it was his own shortcomings in naivet? in business that did this. He was a man with supreme courage and weaknesses to match. He was not some hollywood invented superhero because the story, the directing, the plot, and everything else was done properly so this was not necessary.
