Chris Pine stars as Scotland's legendary Robert the Bruce. More warrior than statesman, he is fiercely loyal to his men and country, and an equally fierce adversary in battle. He and his fellow Scots bristle at England's attempts to rule them. When Robert seizes the opportunity to ascend the Scottish throne, England unleashes its fury, forcing the proud king into exile. Now known far-and-wide as an outlaw, Robert must use both strategy and his warrior skills to win back his nation for his people. (Toronto International Film Festival)

Belo desenho de produção e uma introdução louvável a uma — no mundo do cinema menos conhecida, mas merecidamente notável — figura histórica (ofuscada pelo seu predecessor político William Wallace). Em termos de género é também satisfatório, contendo todos os atributos de mainstream necessários. Mas o que me impediu de ter aqui uma experiência adequada foi a previsibilidade e a falta de originalidade narrativa sem o contributo pessoal do diretor em particular. Cenas e momentos que teriam distinguido o filme de muitos a ele parecidos. Tê-los-ia apreciado ainda mais do que a batalha de guerra. E também uma banda sonora melhor do que fortemente medíocre.

A direct follow-up of the Braveheart, which is definitely more precise in terms of history, however not faithful, not even remotely. However, which does not matter in the genre move, not at all. It has only one major problem; it is too abbreviated in two-hour footage. In addition, in a way that strikes the eye or it start talking about many topics, but nothing more. Even, especially in the middle part, so much that I doubt that I would not blame the same for the twenty-minute longer version that was screened at festivals. Otherwise, it's a dirty historical chamber feature film (no, it's not as contradictory as it would seem), which follows the classic plot of “historical David versus Goliath", but it has an atmosphere, a beautiful set design and a camera (and it's not just about taking advantage of the Scottish Highlands or the introductory nine-minute one-shot scene), an uncompromising battle scene, a soundtrack connected by folk hackneyed songs and surprisingly good performances for such a butchery (perhaps only Edward is a way too excessive cartoon character). This includes Pine, where out of necessity the virtue “so that he doesn't have to speak much of a Scottish accent" is transformed into one of his strengths, because a quiet role based purely on charisma will surprisingly suit him. Outlaw King is exactly what it promised to be. It just had to be longer and therefore not so straightforward. Which, of course, wouldn't matter if it weren't clear from the final cut that the original ambitions were greater.

In 2008, Netflix proved that it is also able of producing high-budget period blockbusters with good actors and a skilled director. One such proof is Outlaw King, which more or less picks up where Braveheart left off. Even though I had some trouble to understand who is who in the beginning, it wasn’t that difficult after all. The Scots were fighting for their independence, and Chris Pine proved that the older he gets, the better the performances he delivers. A great movie! Outlaw King might be the best period movie of 2018. Some scenes are borderline genius.

I've been missing this genre quite a bit, so I ended up enjoying the historical drama Outlaw King quite a bit (despite a few things that weren't quite right). Chris Pine could have been maybe a bit more... active, on the other hand his lack of emotion here is pretty much compensated by Aaron Taylor-Johnson's surprisingly interesting character and a very good Florence Pugh. However, nobody will probably watch it for them anyway, so more importantly, David Mackenzie has done a great job of creating the atmosphere of that nasty medieval era you really don't want to live in. It's muddy, it's cold, it's raining all the time, everybody's dirty and you die on the fly. It also plays on reality (or near-reality), so the battles are appropriately gritty but not overly explicit, and I never felt like the violence was an end in itself. Moreover, the final clash between the two armies is a real treat and it's a shame we can't enjoy it in the cinema. Unfortunately, however, the result shows that a lot of editing had to be done, and perhaps the entire middle third or the "Robin Hood" passage would have deserved a little more space. Overall, it's a good historical drama that's fun to watch, and there have been remarkably few of those in recent years. So for me, I'm satisfied.

100 minutes of alternating epic, bloody and generously designed scenes and dialogues, which are simply a bit of cheesy historical TV series. Mackenzie aspires to the dark medieval carnation, which he thrives on in luxury crowd scenes and some quadratures of Scots, but other times he uses superficial adornments and Gaelic kitsch. Nevertheless, I like Pine a lot. He's not an exaggerated macho caricature, but rather a guy who has been going after what he wants in a calm and steadfastness manner for some time. It may seem strange to some people that this is the leader people follow - I understand them. I would follow him, too. Btw, Aaron Taylor-Johnson seems to have a taste for raw beef for the first time in his career.
