LOS ANGELES, June 17 (UPI) -- The Death of Robin Hood, in theaters Friday, lives up to its title exploring the final days of the fabled hero. It is a poignant depiction of violent man reflecting on the truth of his life vs. the fiction.
Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman) is used to entertaining potential assassins. All the people he's killed have families who seek revenge.
This Robin Hood is hard to kill though. It is a two hour movie so the title is not going to come true in the first 30 minutes.
Robin doesn't dawdle with would-be assassins. He defends himself with stabs to the throat and head, lands headshots with his bow and arrow, and stabs extremities when the killshot isn't immediately available.
