This is a well-made, well-acted, well-executed film. How historically accurate it is is open to interpretation. Rob Roy is ably played by Liam Neeson and his wife by Jessica Lange. The evil Marquis of Montrose is wonderfully played by John Hurt. Tim Roth also gives a great performance as Archibald Cunningham. The cinematography is very good. The setting, wherever it was, looks a lot like northern Scotland. I'm a member of the Clan Graham Society, and it kind of hurt to see James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, portrayed as such a greedy and evil man, but I'm sure not all of my Scottish ancestors were saints. There is some violence, but the film doesn't make that much of it. The worst part is the rape by Cunningham of Roy's wife. Eventually, the two will have to go at it, of course. Overall, I enjoyed this film immensely.
