Rob Roy (1995)
9/10
Superb!
30 November 2016
Historically accurate In everything from dress to dialogue this excellent film makes Braveheart look even more like the amateurish, pseudo-historical garbage that It Is (not to mention a budget of Just £3 Million compared to the £75 Million of Braveheart). A solid story-line with some excellent dialogue and exceptional acting, along with some beautiful photography,Rob Roy takes us back In time In a way that very few movies can. Although this short period (perhaps a year or two) of Robs life covered In the movie Is very much speculative It's the accuracy of the time and the people and their way of life that deserves special praise. This film has It all - excitement, camaraderie, betrayal, and covers well the many aspects regarding Social status and the problems and hardships caused by the gross inequalities of this period. Rob Roy Is a film that one can Imagine would look very similar had the real events been filmed during the period In which It's set. Massively underrated, a must-see for anyone and everyone with an Interest In British history or great story-telling In general.
