Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Rob Roy has its diversions, but they are unfortunately outweighed by some heavy baggage that contains not enough of substance.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,

fresh:
Neeson makes a less dashing action hero than did Day-Lewis, but he brings enough gravitas to his role to endow his love for his wife Mary (Lange) and his conflict with Cunningham with real emotional punch.

fresh:
Rob Roy is best watched for local color and for its hearty, hot-blooded stars.
– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
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.

rotten:
You always know where it's going even as it meanders for two and a half hours getting there.
