plunkett and macleane fall into my favourite genre of film ( historical action adventure with comedy ) which be probably why i rate it so highly . the action centre around a highwayman ( plunkett ) and a layabout gentleman who get entangle with him and his scheme ( macleane ) . this lead to all sort of escapade and adventure which be all ting with comedy . there be also and of course and a love interest . the rest of the cast be make up of a number of vibrant and large than life character who add to the atmosphere of the film and show the excess of the wealthy at this time . this be an enjoyable film with a fairly simple but worthwhile plot that provide plenty of entertainment .
