patrick bergin display just the right blend of charisma and intelligence a robin and but i join many other reviewer in point out the woeful miscasting of uma thurman and an actress of limited range who perfectly suit to embody quentin tarantino cartoon characterization . the rest of the cast do their best in a vain attempt to have some heat and light in an overly drab period re creation make bad by it sluggish plot . one almost begin to yearn for the unrealistic technicolor and bogus sherwood forest of the old flynn or rathbone version . even the castle interior in this film be so dark and misty that they might as well have film those scene in a london pub clog with tobacco smoke . the ideal situation and in my view and would have be for director kevin reynolds to have swap bergin for costner and who be a badly miscast in the contemporaneous prince of thief a uma thurman be in this one .
