Plot: No one will be neutral about Plunkett & Macleane. Either you go with its notion of cheeky, stylish fun or you want to grab first-time director Jake Scott by the ear and slap him silly.

Is this sophomoric? Maybe. But it's also often fresh and inventive. Why shouldn't a filmmaker be allowed to speak directly to a contemporary consciousness, even flaunt it, as long as he also delivers startling imagery and convincing period detail? The solid cast includes Michael Gambon as a corrupt magistrate, Ken Stott as a very nasty enforcer named Mr. Chance (who favors a thumb through the eye socket and into the brain as a mode of execution), and Terence Rigby as a philosophical jailer; even Liv Tyler looks more interesting than usual. Plunkett & Macleane is in the end pretty frivolous, but it's a lively debut nonetheless. --Richard T. Jameson

    wow i have not seen this movie in ages but think that this is a really good movie..i think that the director of this Action & Adventure movie had done a good job of directing this movie because he keeps you on the edge's of your seats throughout the movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...the gun=shoot=outs scenes are pretty kewl throughout this movie...this has a good cast of characters throughout this movie..i think that alexander armstrong n ben miller were really funny throughout this movie (They star in there hit tv show the armstrong n miller show which is/was brilliant tv)...the other comice in this movie Matt Lucas nd David Walliams ( both star in the hit tv shows Shooting Stars n there own creation Little Britian Series 1 of Little Britian was the best i think)...Alan Cumming who plays A decadent aristo in this movie he is a good actor because he has done some good movies/tv shows throughout n he plays night crawler in X-men 2..this is a good movie n Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller were brilliant as the pair of thieves (Plunkett & Macleane) throughout this movie,,,this is a good movie

    Some enjoyable sequences and a charismatic performance from Robert Carlisle turns this from terrible to average!

    too stylistic for it's own good. modern soundtrack over period drama: when not done well, it comes across as cocky.
    decent piece, great looking, but a waste of talent, really.

    This was a nicely made film, with some good performances. I think it's modern take on the highwayman tale may have thrown some people, but it has one of the best rescue scenes I've seen!

    Some folks love this flick. I thought it was ok, but I've never been a big Liv Tyler fan and I can't say this is either Miller or Caryle's best work. If you're not a fan of theirs, I'm not sure how much you'll like this fim.
