plunkett and macleane be an entertaining and fast paced and refreshing film . refreshing because and unlike most other period film and it do not strive to give the audience a history lesson or preach pompously indeed and historical accuracy be all but ignore . this film do not take itself too seriously and and seek to entertain rather than enlighten . plunkett and macleane be set in the 18th century and yet director jake scott offer a thoroughly 90 take . there action and sex and swear aplenty and and in the inevitable ball scene the aristocracy dance to disco beat . jonny lee miller and robert carlyle be brilliant a always and and the rest of the cast and especially alan cumming a a flirtatious fop and be also highly entertain . the film be visually spectacular in place and and be a mixture of comedy and action and drama and with a love interest provide by liv tyler with a shaky english accent . in short and if youre look for an entertaining couple of hour and this be the film for you . it would not make you think and but it could well put a smile on your face .
