Critic Reviews

Ella Taylor

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

Jay Carr

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

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

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

Mike Clark

The plunk-ing of a rap/disco soundtrack onto a movie about debtors' prisons and 18th century British highwaymen? Read full review

Film.com Gemma Files

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

Jonathan Foreman

A noisy, amateurish mess that doesn't work on any level - an extended, clich-ridden MTV video set to anachronistic bad music. Read full review

TNT RoughCut Daysun Chang

An empty void of tasteless action, formula plot, and dull dialogue set in a sadly under-utilized time period. Read full review

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 ballYou 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.… Expand
