10. Curtis, Quentin (21 May 1995).
"Cinema / Och aye, such noble derring-
do!" . The Independent. “The first point to
make about Alan Sharp's script is that it
travesties history, bearing only the
flimsiest resemblance to the facts of
Rob's life, and importing a great deal of
sensationalism (such as the rape of Rob's
wife by Cunningham). The second point is
that it's one of the best screenplays of the
last decade. Sharp, who is returning to his
roots, after scripting Hollywood classics
such as Ulzana's Raid and Night Moves,
has married the narrative complexity of
the classic Western and film noir, to an
earthy Scottish naturalism. The result is
not so much like Walter Scott (whose
novel Rob Roy barely dealt with the hero)
as James Boswell, when in tumultuous
mood, with the whoring rage upon him.”
