Critics' reviews

"With such a cast and the setting of the Highlands, plus a story with a gold mine of dramatic potential, it is a puzzle why Rob Roy is so uninvolving"

Peter Stack: SFgate
"The film follows a predictable dramatic arc, yet it has style and heart, and Neeson and Jessica Lange are superb together"

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"A splendid, rousing historical adventure (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"A welcome paradox--an intelligent, rousing adventure for grown-up kids"

Newsweek
"Although it's an agreeable movie, Caton-Jones's direction is too discreet -- too civilized -- to stir the viewer's blood"

Terrence Rafferty: The New Yorker
"Braveheart in a new kilt. Not exactly original, then, but worth a look."

Andrew Collins: Empire
