There are also moments to make historians wince, most especially a third-act chronology that egregiously conflates details of Loudoun Hill with the Battle of Bannockburn seven years later. But Outlaw King gets far more right than it ever gets wrong.

Mackenzie shaved 20 minutes or so after its premiere at TIFF, but there's still no getting around the fact that what starts as a drama of occupation and political fracturing invariably must give way to lengthy, loud, and splatter-enhanced combat.

Mackenzie has assembled a very decent cast and has clearly taken great pains to get the period detail right.

Outlaw King fails to become the rightful heir to this throne, because it never goes big enough.

The battles are brutal, the bludgeoning horrid, yet Outlaw King is frustratingly muted. It's authentic but rarely dynamic.

The first scene/shot ends, and so, too, does the movie's attempt to do anything inventive with its tale of history.

For a historical drama, it's actually very unremarkable.

Why do moviemakers insist on telling historical stories when they're really just interested in costumes and war?

There's still enough adventure to entertain.

Mackenzie knows that a personal connection - not just love of country, but love itself - can ground a sweeping story even when it stumbles.
