Rob Roy: Rob Roy/Cunningham
The final duel in Rob Roy is a combination and conflict of dueling styles. Tim Roth’s mincing and cruel Cunningham is an expert fencer with the smallsword, while Liam Neeson’s more brutish Roy uses the broadsword. As Cunningham apparently takes Roy apart with speed and agility, Roy swings his great (and Scottish) weapon.
It’s like watching a fox fight a bear. The pair are matched, but in a rather unexpected way, and it makes for a unique and disturbing fight.
