Outlaw King was originally reviewed at the Toronto International Film Fest.
Roughly twenty minutes has been cut from Netflix’s Outlaw King since it first screened for critics at September’s Toronto International Film Festival. This leaner version, debuting exclusively on Netflix on November 9th, is enough of an improvement over the film I reviewed at TIFF that I felt compelled to update my existing review and bump up the final score to 7.4 out of 10 (or "good").
My original review — where I gave director David Mackenzie’s film an “okay” score of 6.9 — can be found below. A significant amount of the story’s political machinations where the Scottish lords, including Chris Pine’s Robert the Bruce, opined on matters of liberty and such, have been excised from this final cut. While the history buff in me appreciated Mackenzie’s attention to detail, the narrative was bogged down by these expository and relatively mundane scenes, with the film’s overall pacing lurching between those flat moments and the far more visceral and engaging sections where Robert is either waging war or on the run.
