If it is action and adventure that you crave but can't find any then check this out. Kevin Costner does a pretty good job in this swashbuckling action adventure movie. Of course its another retelling of the story of the legendary Robin Hood but with a few novel twists. THere are some good supporting performances from Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater, Alan Rickman and MAry Mastrantonio is a highly desireable Maid Marion. The perfomances are sound enough to forgive that Mid-Atlantic twang (which does grate occasionally)and the pace and action come thick and fast. The forest fight scene is dramatic and convincing and of course the finale is great especially when Friar Tuck helps the corrupt bishop out of the top window of the castle tower. Thoroughly recommend it.
