Movie Info

In the shadow of the Monmouth Rebellion, the rural plains of Exmoor are host to their own battles. Exmoor is the domain of the Doones, a lawless and ruthless family of fallen nobles who rule the area savagely, thieving and killing whoever stands in the way. It's here that the peasant farmer John Ridd (Richard Coyle) attempts to live a simple, honest life, until he falls in love with the beautiful Lorna (Amelia Warner), not realizing she's a Doone.

This everyday story of West Country folk was enlivened by Michael Kitchen playing Hanging Judge Jeffreys in a Brando-esque whisper as quite a nice old thing really.

This co-production boasts some terrific performances, from the romantic leads in Coyle and Warner to the obsessive nastiness Gillen brings to Carver.
