🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic adventure, relying on the stark contrast between day and night, vicar and outlaw. It explores the theme of dual identity through the romanticized figure of a folk hero, using scenic shots and a consistent aura of mystery.
Those who tire of cynical heroes will find a straightforward, swashbuckling tale where justice wears a scarecrow's mask and rides on the marsh winds. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: James Neilson
