Will find and see when possible (not possible to see video much anymore, 15-mo. old at home now). Quite disappointed in Fiennes film choices, after S's L. Liam N I like, but only in certain kinds of roles. In "Rob Roy," for instance, he is great. Kind of like an Irish John Wayne, portrays the big, strong, fairly silent kind of guy better than anyone. Emoting ain't his forté, he always looks uncomfortable. And, for some reason, a big guy getting weepy ain't a pretty sight. He was quite powerfully restrained in S's L. But I think he wasn't convincing in that someone that moves, talks, and acts like he does wouldn't be a Schindler. He'd be an underground resister.
