First Reactions: The Death of Robin Hood Draws 'Logan' Comparisons

Early reactions compare Hugh Jackman's turn in The Death of Robin Hood to his aged-hero work in Logan. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, the long-held passion project features an ensemble that includes Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe. Based on the 17th-century ballad "Robin Hood's Death," the bleak thriller follows the outlaw as he grapples with his past; gravely injured, he’s taken in by a mysterious woman and offered a chance at salvation.

A24 critic Courtney Howard declares the film “RIPS!” and calls it, "Bold & brutal, this is a kinetic, brilliant new generational legend and a profound rumination on mortality. Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer & Bill Skarsgård are unassailably exceptional.
