Starring : Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Max von Sydow, Mark Strong, Oscar Isaac, Danny HustonDirector : Ridley Scott
Running Time : 150 mins
On his return to England following his involvement in the Hundred Years War under Richard The Lionheart (Huston), Robin Longstride (Crowe) discovers that corruption has taken over England under the rule of Prince John (Isaac). In order to set things right, Longstride joins forces with a band of men who take it upon themselves to help out the poor disillusioned people of England by facing off against the crown.
Although visually pleasing, and filled with the kind of action you would expect from a movie directed by one of the Scott brothers, this leaves the viewer feeling a little dissatisfied with the overall story of this movie. Robin is barely introduced, and his thought processes and decision making skills seem a little disjointed. Plus, casting a pair of Antipodeans in the lead role of a classic English folk tale? Not a great move, but at least they weren’t American.
