A highly entertaining movie in a genre that is often as stiff as the Lady Gibson's boning.

Too much fun to ignore.

Fantastic movie it is the best movie that I had ever seen it was such a laugh and it had such good actors **** class drama comedy and a really good **** looking forward to a follow up **** there any chance of second film being released?

Cheerful mishmash.

Its noisily inappropriate pop-rock score overwhelms its meager subplots about British class conflict.

It doesn't really hang together. And waaay too much style. Pity.

The script is as full of holes as some of the highwaymen's bullet-riddled victims -- why not throw a drum-and-bass track over everything?
5
An empty void of tasteless action, formula plot, and dull dialogue set in a sadly under-utilized time period.

It would seem to be a somewhat accurate depiction of an interesting age and conveys a lot of atmosphere. The cinematography is excellent. The interactions between the characters are entertaining. The soundtrack is unusual and very good. And Liv Tyler is gorgeous (!).

Stylishly produced & directed, but I never cared about the characters or laughed at the jokes, which leaves little else to enjoy.

You want lewdness in your 18th century bromance? This movie's got you. How about retrieving a swallowed gem stone from a corpse? And then getting it from somebody's hole of his arse? Plunkett & Macleane has you covered. And club beats laid under the music played at an aristocrat's ball (keeping in mind it's the 18th century)? Sure, you get that with this piece of tripe as well. There's no shortage of historical adventures out there, so the thinking behind this one was probably to set itself apart with some grave robbing, an impromptu autopsy, STD gags, and anachronistic fireworks displays to go along with the '90s tunes. And we shouldn't forget the F-bombs and other language from the gutter to amuse all the eight year olds out there. If you like this sort of thing, then more power to you. The movie is probably available for purchase through some digital store right now. On the other hand, if you want historical action that has at least half a brain, give Rob Roy or Master and Commander a look. Heck, even the first Pirates of the Caribbean deserves more attention than this waste of time.
