- Will Plunkett (Carlyle) is a common thief who teams up with aristocrat James Macleane to rob from the rich, using their combined social connections and criminal knowhow to become "The Gentlemen Highwaymen".

Director Scott is the son of "Blade Runer" director Ridley Scott.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Lewd, crude and occasionally too brutal to take, it's also gorgeous, heartfelt."
-
"A noisy, amateurish mess that doesn't work on any level"
-
"Scott makes it easy to overlook the conventionality beneath his sometimes overdone but almost always enjoyable combination of atmosphere and propulsivenes"
-
"Watchable in a facile, trashy way"
-
"Everything is stunningly photographed by John Mathieson, but to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, a cockroach is a cockroach is a cockroach."
