		Robert Roy (Liam Neeson, born in Ireland) is the leader of the shrinking MacGregor clan.
		The MacGregor clan's motto is "S'rioghal mo Dheam" "Royal is my Blood" -- a perfect description of the way Liam Neeson plays Rob, as a physically and morally strong man who is tall, walks tall and is faithful to himself, his principles and his people.
		Rob Roy's hardiness and resistance to physical injuries is as mythical as that of heroes in Westerns.

	Rob Roy Movie Review
		The plot of ROB ROY is a fairly dense one, including a healthy dose of post-Restoration English political machinations which might leave many viewers wondering why being accused of being a "Jacobite" would be such a big deal.
		ROB ROY tries to build the love story between Rob and Mary into one of the central elements, but the conflict between Rob and the Englishmen is always more interesting.
		ROB ROY is not for the squeamish, with its swordplay and a lengthy rape scene, nor is it for those looking strictly for a lusty romp.
