A semi-fictional account of the exploits of a pair of ruthless highwaymen in Regency England, what sets this film apart from more traditional costume dramas is the constant tongue-in-cheek dry humour and the use of modern language by the exquisitely-dressed characters. In one very memorable scene a traditional ballroom dance is set to hardcore techno music. And the sight of a pair of fops waving their [handkerchiefs whilst exclaiming "Alright? GeezAH!" is going to stay with me for many years...

It might not suit all tastes, but if you're a fan of modern British cinema (Trainspotting, Full Monty, Lock Stock etc) it's probably worth watching. Don't expect the answer to the meaning of life, and don't expect absolute historical realism. Just enjoy yourself!
