Director: Stefan Schwartz
Starring: Alice Evans, Daniel Lapaine, Liam Cunningham, Matthew Rhys, Sophia Myles
Plunkett and Macleane go to Ireland in this intermittently entertaining period piece from the director of "Shooting Fish". Its heroes are Byrne (Lapaine) and Strang (Rhys), two dandy highwaymen who comprise part of a clandestine gang. Said brotherhood solves the tricky problem of finding brides by kidnapping women and persuading them to marry by daybreak. Apparently, this really was the dubious course of action taken in 18th century Ireland by younger sons of wealthy families who needed to find heiresses in order to guarantee their financial futures. The authorities apparently turned a blind eye to their criminal activities, passing them off as mere 'high spirits'.
