Crappy film

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

fresh, nice, good cast, slices of tension, humor and adventure, Robin Hood in new clothes and tales about love and friendship. fragile Jonny Lee Miller, rude Robert Carlyle and Liv Tyler as reflection of old Amazons. good atmosphere, ridiculous aristocrats, fights, mud, fake jewels, an interesting bad guy and charm of Alan Cummings. a part of childhood novels with heroes, princesses, air of lost age and mysteries. and if it is not a new story - the recipes is yellow - it is a perfect temptation to rediscover bones of dusty world. out of rules, as football play in school yard, far from problems or great artistic expectations. a Iain Robertson is OK solution for create circle of credibility and stop impression of mediocre delight. but this movie is more than a joke or piece of long chain. it is remember of good times. and this fact is very important today.

I don't want to write too much about the film but basically it's an action/comedy with a little bit of romance thrown in about two men who come together in unlikely circumstances and become highway men together. Fantastic performance by Robert Carlysle and everybody else involved. A brilliant 'baddy' who really makes you hate him. Some great comical lines - actually laugh out loud, amazing action and a great plot. Choice of music and ambiance all fantastic, basically brilliantly directed and brilliants written. I recommend this film to anyone who likes a good British movie or a good bit of action, i don't know why the film never took off, i thought it got no where near as much recognition as it deserved. If for nothing else, watch this film for one of the greatest finale's of all time. Not to give anything away, but this one really get's the heart beating!

Usually, I like silly movies. "Plunkett & Macleane", however, is beyond silly; it falls into the range of absurd. The movie portrays two rogues (Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle) stealing from the rich and keeping the spoils until one falls for an aristocrat woman (Liv Tyler), throwing their plans into flux. I guess that maybe I'm not being fair to Carlyle (and to the UK film industry in general): after a film as great as "The Full Monty", I expect very high quality from Carlyle, and we can't always guarantee the best.Still, I will say that if you seek a purely entertaining flick, you might want to check this one out. While never reaching a laugh-out-loud level, it does elicit some humor. The main issue is that I've seen much better movies (especially from England), and so I would never recommend this one above most others. OK in a pinch, if there's nothing else to see.

I tend to like Historical (period) films and get new ideas for costumes for my historical group, and a friend recommended this one to me. I like Johnny Lee Miller as an actor so I figured it was worth it, and I was definitely rewarded!! His portrayal as a member of the English noble class was by far more accurate than I've seen in the past. The comedy aspect of it left my sides hurting, the costumes weren't awful, and historically, I didn't wince too much. I also noticed the fact that England didn't have a proper sewage system until much later, but anyone who dose not go deep into the minutae of England's past won't notice nor care. Absolutely worth seeing. I highly recommend this movie.
