Friday Fighting

Rob Roy versus Cunningham, Rob Roy (1995)

The sword fighting sequence, staged by William Hobbs, is the best of its sort ever done. In most movie sword fights, the participants leap about effortlessly, their blades shimmering and clashing. Here we get the sense of the deadly stakes, and the great physical effort involved.

- Roger Ebert
