Product Description

Product Description

Academy Award® nominee Liam Neeson and Oscar® winner Jessica Lange give extraordinary performances as the legendary hero who refused to let his enemies destroy his honour and the loyal woman who gave him the courage to fight. Boasting "one of the great action sequences in movie history" (Roger Ebert), Rob Roy is a breathtaking, epic adventure and "one of the best films of the year" (Gene Siskel). When a harsh winter threatens the majestic Scottish Highlands, Rob Roy Macgregor (Neeson) is forced to borrow money from the less-than-noble Marquis of Montrose (John Hurt) to provide for his clan. But when Montrose’s henchman (Tim Roth in an Oscar-nominated performance) conspires to take the wealth for himself, Roy is thrust into the most challenging battle of his life.

From Amazon.co.uk

A too-often overlooked gem of the 1990s, Rob Roy got swallowed up a little in the hype surrounding Braveheart, which arrived around the same time. Yet there’s a compelling argument that it’s more than up to the standard of Mel Gibson’s Oscar winner. Some might even suggest it’s the better movie.

Liam Neeson takes the title role, in a film that’s a historical drama at heart, albeit one punctuated with some quite excellent action work. There’s an epic sense to it, and the added bonus of Tim Roth stealing every scene he’s allowed near as the evil henchman of the Marquis Of Montrose. Unsurprisingly, he was Oscar-nominated for his role, although the likes of Neeson, John Hurt and Jessica Lange also turn in fine work.

It’s a film ripe for a Blu-ray upgrade, though, and the presentation of Rob Roy is excellent. It helps bring through the evocative period detail, while handling the action superbly well. In the case of the latter in particular, so does the sound mix. It’s just a shame that there’s no supplementary material included to dig into what must have been an interesting production, especially given the historical roots of the story. Nonetheless, this is sweeping cinema, presented with care and quality on a worthwhile disc. --Jon Foster

5.0 out of 5 starsworth a second and third look
By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on 17 Jun. 2004
Format: DVD
Rob Roy, based loosely on the real life Highlander Rob Roy Macgregor, had the bad mistake of Hollywood timing. There must be a lot spy vs spy in Hollywood, industrial secrets being passed around for a price! Ever notice how if one movie company does some genre, then suddenly they all are? Well, someone whispered Mel as doing in man in a skirt drama (Kilt to you Sasunnach!) and suddenly they rushes to do another. With Rob Roy coming out at the same time, it hurt by comparison. Braveheart was a powerhouse tale of one man's fight for Scottish Freedom. Off the bat, you have a difference. Rob Roy was the story of one man's personal fight against wrongs done to him and his family. So the personal tale automatically feels "smaller". Not big battle scenes for Rob Roy. No King for an enemy, just a Scottish Noble, John Graham, Marquis of Montrose (brilliantly played by John Hurt, Ian McShane old RADA roommate!).
Still, despite the automatic comparisons between the two films (both with problems of historical inaccuracies), Rob Roy should be given a stronger look. The acting is without fault. Neeson as Rob is great (who da thunk an Irisher could do such a good Scot!). Eric Stolz, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth (so utterly despicable!) Andrew Keir (5 Million Years to Earth) and Brian Cox (the first Hannibal Lector in Manhunter, a REAL Scot mind you! He did double duty by playing Mel's Uncle in Bravenheart), gives performances that are flawless. The Highland's are filmed in breathtaking beauty, the writing is gritty, sharp with a good idea for detail. Frankly, any film that has Liam "Calling down the Gregor" commends itself to my Scot heart!

5.0 out of 5 starsNear perfect
By David Read on 17 Dec. 2003
Format: DVD
This is one of my favorite movies of the 1990s. The thing I love about it is that it is a costume drama that attempts to capture not just the dress but the attitudes and beliefs of people from a different time. The focus of this film is honor, something sacred to men of the 18th Century but almost completely forgotten today. Thus, it is a truly a historical film. Moreover, all the performances are pitch-perfect, from Liam Neeson to Jessica Lange to Tim Roth. What a gem of a movie Michael Caton Jones has given us.

5.0 out of 5 starsScotland's Robin Hood in rustic but lyrical tones.
By Themis-Athena on 29 Dec. 2002
Format: DVD
Popular heroes make for great movies - this adage has held true since the days of Douglas Fairbanks's "Mark of Zorro" (1920) and "Robin Hood" (1922), and Errol Flynn's representation of the legendary Robin of Locksley 16 years later ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," 1938), and it has been reinforced again and again over the course of the years. And whenever we go to see yet another screen version of the life of such a hero, regardless whether based on historic fact or popular lore, we carry certain almost instinctive expectations: the hero is to be honorable and his true love virtuous, there is to be a truly evil villain, an abundance of sword play and other action, and good is to prevail in the end. "Rob Roy" delivers on all of these counts; yet, it manages to be much more than a colorful costume piece with a storyline in black and white, and it differs considerably from the type of movie coined ever since the adventures of history's great heroes were first brought to the silver screen.

To begin with, Liam Neeson, in the title role, is not the slim, agile hero with lightning-quick, supple movements we have come to expect after having seen leading men such as Fairbanks, Flynn and Robert Taylor ("Ivanhoe," 1952). No: here, the part of the dazzling and deadly fencing champion goes to Tim Roth, who has the calculating, conceited, blonde-wigged henchman Archibald Cunningham down to absolute perfection - you just love to hate him; yet, he never becomes the embodiment of an ueber-villain, and it is his utter fallibility as a human being which makes him all the more evil and despicable. The face-offs between Roth and Neeson (particularly their final duel) almost have something of an inverse David vs.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDo not think that all sins go unpunished in this life, Montrose.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 7 Jun. 2011
Format: DVD
Rob Roy is directed by Michael Caton-Jones and written by Alan Sharp. It stars Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz, Andrew Keir and Brian Cox. Music is by Carter Burwell and cinematography by Karl Walter Lindenlaub.

Neeson is Rob Roy MacGregor, an 18th Century Scottish historical figure who borrows £1,000 from the Marquis of Montrose (Hurt) with the plan to improve his clan's way of life. But the money is stolen in transit by the dastardly Archibald Cunnigham (Roth), so unable to repay the loan, Roy is forced to live as an outlaw. From such seeds are legends born.

Beautifully shot on location in parts of the Scottish Highlands, Rob Roy somewhat got lost in the slip stream of Mel Gibson's Braveheart. A shame, for although not as epic or as rousing as Gibson's Oscar grabber, Caton-Jones' film is a different, more reflective, type of historical piece. Thematically the film is a play on virtues, in fact it's a trumpet playing fanfare for such. Honesty, honour, loyalty, fidelity and love nestle in nicely with the wonderful landscapes, born out by Sharp's intelligent script. But that's not to say that the director hasn't got the requisite thrust of stirring adventure within, he has, and Rob Roy rewards in that department also. The films crowning glory is a climatic sword fight, no tricks or hard to believe heroics, just an expertly shot long sequence that's choreographed sublimely by William Hobbs and Robert G. Goodwin. While Carter Burwell's score sits nice with the visual treats; even if the Gaelic strains within the orchestration sound more Irish than Scottish.

Cast work well.Read more ›
