I thought that was The Death of Robin Hood. It’s about an aging Robin Hood who is tormented by his life of killing and robbing people and looking for forgiveness before he dies.
Robin Hood has always been seen as a common-class hero, so a film where he regrets all the deeds he’s performed (and supposedly all the people he murdered along the way) is re-writing the hero as a villain looking for redemption for his evil deeds.
Meanwhile, a new version of A Christmas Carol is releasing this year, simply titled Ebenezer, which is once again promoting the humanization and redemption of the wealthiest man in town.

I thought that was a great movie, but it was marketed all wrong. I hope more people watch it. Jackman was fantastic.
