Stop with all the Braveheart references "sigh" This movie was a waste of 2 hours and doesn't even come close to Braveheart. I would have asked for my money back if I hadn't saw it on cable.... Full review

Compensation comes in gorgeous cinematography by Karl Walter Lindenlaub that lets you drink in the mist in the gloaming and the heather on the hill.
Though you might question casting an Irishman as a Scot, Neeson makes a stalwart, sexy hero -- even in a kilt.

Rob Roy" is a welcome paradox-an intelligent, rousing adventure for grown-up kids.
If the film has a somewhat stately pace, this is because Caton-Jones blessedly avoids the sight-bite editing and pace that's endemic today.

a grand, sweeping tale of passionate dignity and everlasting fidelity.....A la any decent action hero, Rob Roy manages several impressive escapes that heighten the tension and speed up the pace.....Rob Roy" is a witty and unusually honest historical epic recounting the clan struggles of the Scottish Highlands in 1713.....Dramatic highlight arrives in the form of minion Cunningham, a foppish fiend and sadistic opportunist played with twisted glee by Tim Roth..... ...
