Trivia
Tim Roth thought he was going to be fired for making Archibald Cunningham too eccentric. He asked his agent to start looking for more work for him. Despite thinking this, the director told him to be more campy and eccentric. See more »Goofs
The redcoats under Cunningham's command have socket bayonets. Correct bayonets for the period are plug types. See more »Quotes

This is a very good, under-rated action/drama/and slightly historical movie.
The basic story concerns Rob Roy's borrowing of 1000 pounds, its theft, and the problems it causes for his family and indirectly his clansmen.
Cunningham( Tim Roth) is an amazing villain and character in this story. Brutally cold and if you watch his face he seems to be able to turn his eyes off and look completely evil.
Rob Roy (Liam Neeson) is excellent too, but i think the writers used the word "honour" 1 too many times.
The rest of the cast is strong, and the whole movie is very well acted and filmed.
The Action is exciting and the sword play very realistic, but not too gory. The story is good and you really want Rob to win.
All in all just shy of a classic.
