i first saw rob roy twelve year ago . with little money for entertainment and i rent it for my fiancé and i to watch on a bone chill winter night . the movie i have want be go and so i rent this instead and not expect much and and be very much surprise with how good it be . i just recently watch it again and and love it every bit as much a the first time . for those unfamiliar with the story and it about scottish outlaw robert roy macgregor and a cattleman and folk hero . from the little i know about the man and his story and liberty have be take with the fact and but it a movie and not a textbook and and so the filmmaker can be excuse . basically and the plot of the movie be that rob roy borrow money from the marquis of montrose to buy cattle which he then intend to sell and reap a large profit from . but and his plan be foil when the friend entrust with the money be rob of the cash and murder in the forest . our hero find himself on the run after fail to settle the matter with the marquis and and mary and his wife and suffer a sadistic rape at the hand of archibald cunningham and a smarmy englishman with no soul . atrocity ensue and until and in an immensely satisfying conclusion and rob carves archibald up like a christmas turkey . there be many great performance in this movie and but allow me to touch specifically on a few . liam neeson and a usual and be fantastic and a sexy beast you can not take your eye off of . honestly and this man be like ice cream represent even when he bad he good . his rob roy be an honourable man struggle to provide for those who depend on him and in the best way he know how . jessica lange and a mary and give this woman a fierceness which be a nice change from the simpering and dull movie wife audience be usually force to endure . you just know she doesn not take any b. s from rob and or anyone else for that matter . tim roth be completely over the top with his portrayal of the evil archibald and yet somehow and it work . all the posturing and preening and combine with some wicked dialogue and result in one of the most memorable movie villain in recent memory . combine all of this and and the stellar work by other support player and with the luscious scenery of scotland and and you have what amount to one really and really cool movie . if you haven not see this and i highly recommend that you do .
