TL;DR

"The Death of Robin Hood" is a dark reimagining of the British outlaw, directed by Michael Sarnoski and starring Hugh Jackman.
The film portrays Robin Hood as an amoral, even monstrous villain, starkly contrasting with his traditional heroic image.
The first act is characterized by brutal, blunt violence, with Robin Hood motivated by survival and greed rather than social redistribution.
