Critic Reviews

Lewd, crude and occasionally too brutal to take, it's also gorgeous, heartfelt.

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

A cross between a Hogarth painting and an MTV video, Plunkett & Macleane cuts quite a swath.

Scott makes it easy to overlook the conventionality beneath his sometimes overdone but almost always enjoyable combination of atmosphere and propulsiveness.

A tad too raunchy for its own good.

Too much fun to ignore.

It's vulgar, to be sure, but it's also brash and invigorating.

This buddy movie grows on you.

Its greatest flaw is the casting of Miller ("Trainspotting," "Hackers"), who continues to have virtually no screen presence...For all that, Plunkett & Macleane is fun.

Watchable in a facile, trashy way. Unfortunately, most of the movie is mired in sludge, slime, mud, blood, and studiously dank cinematography.
