‘The Uprising’ Review: Andrew Garfield in Paul Greengrass’ Intense but Monotonous Medieval Actioner

The Uprising is a violent historical drama directed by Paul Greengrass, focusing on the 14th-century Peasants' Revolt. Starring Andrew Garfield, the film features a cast including Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Katherine Waterston, Cosmo Jarvis, and Thomasin McKenzie. While some reviews describe the medieval actioner as intense, others characterize it as monotonous. Critics suggest the epic initially soars but ultimately nosedives, resulting in a disappointing period piece that leads the rebellion off a cliff.
