Rob Roy (1995) DVD [15]

Rob Roy is a sweeping and magnificently crafted historical epic from 1995, telling the true story of the legendary Scottish folk hero Robert Roy MacGregor with passion, honour, and considerable ferocity.

Liam Neeson is outstanding in the title role - physically commanding and morally unshakeable, he brings genuine weight and dignity to a man who refuses to be broken by the powerful forces arrayed against him. When Rob borrows money from the Marquis of Montrose to support his clan and is betrayed by the villainous Cunningham - a brilliantly reptilian performance by Tim Roth, who received an Academy Award nomination for it - what follows is a story of honour, survival, and revenge set against the breathtaking Scottish Highlands.

Jessica Lange is equally impressive as Mary MacGregor, and the film's climactic duel between Neeson and Roth is one of the finest sword fights ever committed to film. Directed by Michael Caton-Jones, this is a film that deserves to be far better known than it is.
