plunkett and macleane be a wonderful updating of the swashbuckling tradition and predate johny depp and his pirate friend . the tone be lighthearted and with a touch of social commentary and but nothing too heavy . one could almost see errol flynn and basil rathbone in this . it start out in low gear and with the introduction of the character and the establishing of the theme of social inequality and rebellion while but and it kick into high gear once the boy hit the highway . the robbery be grand and stylish and with romantic touch that be the bread and butter of swashbuckler . the actor be engage and help elevate the material a bit and which be fairly hollow . there not much depth to the figure and but they be play with such charm and skill that it doesn not matter . muh have be say about the modern music . period music tend to the more serene and which seem out of place . a classical score with celtic rhythm for the action piece could work and but the more modern and rebellious rock and techno music seem to add an edge to the action . since the character be more legend than reality and accuracy in the music seem pointless . the piece tend to fit the mood of the aired scene and so it mostly work well . i just wonder how they miss adam ant stand and deliver . make no mistake and this be not a serious film . it pure escapism and a wonderful lark . tony scott show some of the visual flair of his father and but i do not think we be go to see many oscar nod in his career just yet . he seem to understand the material here and pull off a fine film . with time he may prove to be a name to reckon with . his father take a while to mature beyond visual stylization and become a more rounded director . this be definitely one to watch for an entertaining evening or for a swashbuckling film fest .
