Just awful

It's cartoonish. If they were going for a parody of the era, they missed the mark by making it AmDram. It feels as though the writing was taken from the pantomime. There's a skirmish between two of the characters and it looks like they're dancing and that's not an exaggeration. The schemes that are supposed to show the ruthlessness of the head-villain are so ludicrous as to be unfathomably bad. Not to spoil anything, but don't watch this, there's a strange scene after strange scene. It very much feels like they intentionally made a terrible film because making it better would have looked like they were trying to make a good film but failed: this way they look like they were trying to make a bad film and in that they have succeeded. It gets worse as it goes on.

This is truly awful

I dont know why I watched this to the end. I think I was hoping it would get better

It had absolutely nothing to do with the story of Dick Turpin. If you didn't know anything about Dick Turpin before watching this film you'll still have absolutely no idea by the end.

The whole film is totally predictable and you know what's going to happen from the beginning.

It is supposed to be romantic there is absolutely no sexual tension between the leads.

The female lead was absolutely terrible seen better amateur dramatics. Over acting and the gasp and hand to the mouth is hilarious.

Honestly don't even bother that's an hour and half of my life I'm not getting back.

Avoid

Normally I would give a film like this a 1, but because this is such a low budget affair, I gave it one extra 1.

Poorly acted written and directed, I cannot find much to recommend it to to the discerning viewer.

Odd's nails, sir!

Writer and director Steve Lawson produces a rare light-hearted film from his growing stable. Known for slim-budget, mainly studio-bound, dialogue-heavy productions, there is more location work and physical stuff going on here. As with most of his output, I found this very enjoyable.

Morgan Rees-Davies plays Turpin, here revealed as a scoundrel and trouble-maker, and not a very successful highwayman. The books about him, he admits happily, are heavily exaggerated. The hapless Elizabeth (Mollie Hindle) finds this out to her cost, her initial dislike of him inevitably melting as the film goes on.

This is a nicely paced adventure, not quite the bawdy romp it might have been, although lines like "I'm looking for Dick," and "Yes, I'll bet you are," ensure we're never encouraged to take things too seriously. My score is 7 out of 10.

A highwayman, not the highwayman.

I like this genre of movie, tight action, swashbuckling high links, horse chases, heroic endeavours... Oh wait, there is none of that in this movie. Okay, what you do get is a lame horse, so to speak. I'm not sure if it is the cast or the bad writing, but this movie doesn't feel authentic. The story is so so, if not a little predictable and has a villain that seems to be from another movie altogether.

Sure, I understand low budget constraints so 5/5 for that, but 4/10 is my score.

One thing I noted was the British actors playing the roles in a British story, glad it was not completely ruined by, shall we say, other actors from across the pond. 😃

Conclusion: Not bad and not good; mediocre.
