Rob Roy was one of the movies from Field's young adulthood where he and his friends would quote constantly at each other. Maybe it wasn't constantly...and not all of Field's friends. It was Field. He was always quoting this movie.
So many great performances. Liam Neeson. Jessica Lange. Brian Cox. John Hurt. And, of course, Tim Roth, who delivers a fantastically evil performance as Cunningham. The things he does...the things he says..., let's just say, he deserves the ending he gets.
Oh does he ever.
And when Field watched this film back in the day, he remembered the ending and the quotes, but in this second (or third) watch for the show, Field recognized something different. There is a strong theme about honor and valor in this film that makes Neeson's Rob Roy one of the stronger characters from the 1990s.
