Hmmm. Never before have I heard anyone proudly declare "We are Swiss" in quite such an underwhelming manner before, and that rather sums up the lacklustre performance of Claes Bang as the title character in this verbose crossbow chronology. Traumatised by his experiences in the Crusade, he's now not a natural rebel but is instead content to live peaceably with his wife and son. When he comes to the rescue of a stranger whose wife had just been raped and murdered by the occupying troops of the King of Austria (Sir Ben Kingsley) his former valiance is rekindled and releases all manner of hell on his unprepared, unarmed and unsuspecting people. Pursued by the maniacal "Gessler" (Connor Swindell) and his blonde henchman "Stussi" (Jake Dunn), he has to rediscover his skill with the arrow, and yes - there's the legendary scene with the apple and the boy's head!

I'm tired of this rubbish. What are the odds of an Iranian woman wandering around Switzerland in the middle ages? 0.0000002%?

I remember reading this story when I was younger, I forgot about it until I saw the listing on Disney. It was a long movie but I didn't notice the time (2+ hours) since there was a lot going on in the movie. Entertaining, lots of action and a great story line. If you are looking for an adventure, with some barbaric behavior, this is certainly an option. Streaming on Disney at the moment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
