One of Ridley Scott’s recent films is an epic historical drama that's fraught with frictions and uncertainties. Two friends turned bitter rivals, Adam Driver stars as Jacques Le Gris who is an admired squire accused of assaulting the respectable knight Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon)’s wife, Marguerite (Jodie Comer).
