However, there is a purpose behind the robberies. Plunkett is trying to raise enough money to go to America, where he can start over. Macleane is having fun enjoying playing a nobleman. Chance becomes increasingly obsessed with capturing Plunkett and Macleane, but has no success. The story is all over the place.
Some parts are very funny, others are very dull.
The drama is never serious, sometimes campy. It is amusing to watch the exploits of Plunkett and Macleane, but never more than that. Many people will undoubtedly come to see Carlyle and Miller who starred together in Trainspotting , but this film is nothing like that one. Cummings has the ability to put the right inflection on anything he says to give is a particularly nasty sexual connotation. Unfortunately, Stott's role is limited to sneering and yelling.
