John Irvin directs Patrick Bergin, Uma Thurman and Jürgen Prochnow in this historical adventure retelling the Robin Hood legend with an emphasis on Norman / Saxon tensions post-invasion.

Muddy. Closer to the stories I read as a kid but nowhere near as slick or as fun. Bergin lacks that movie star magic but turns in a serviceable lead performance. Uma feels too young here to be his love interest. The anti Europe messaging is baked in deep. Not terrible, just redundant.
