Less than the sum of its parts; cool action scenes, decent performances, interesting characterisations and bits of witty dialogue here and there, but the structure is deeply flawed and messy, and the plot is too convoluted for its own good --Less than the sum of its parts; cool action scenes, decent performances, interesting characterisations and bits of witty dialogue here and there, but the structure is deeply flawed and messy, and the plot is too convoluted for its own good -- I guess Ritchie thought his film is way smarter than it really is.

What really bogged this movie down for me though is Ritchie's persistence to veer away from his early style which he presumably, to some degree, returned to here. I get that he wanted to return to form without making yet another version of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (both of which I liked, especially the former), but I'm quite not sure whether most of the choices he made here in order to render the film a refreshing feel worked together. Regardless, The Gentlemen is a good fun with enough clever touches to satisfy Ritchie's fans.

Pure Ritchie magic!
The Gentlemen is, in my opinion, without a doubt the best film in Ritchies career since Snatch (2000). It shares many of the common traits of his previous work; with a complex narrative full of plot twists, an extremely colorful cast of characters, lots of quotable dialogue and the inevitability that everything will shortly spiral out of control. However unlike movies such as Snatch, and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Gentlemen’s narrative is relatively easy to follow, which I’m sure will benefit audiences new to his style of filmmaking. The story is explained to us step by step by Hugh Grant’s devious investigator Fletcher, who adopts a Cockney accent (which is refreshing considering Grant has been typecast as a posh British romcom lead in the past). However as towards the end of the movie, it kind of feels like there is just an endless supply of plot twists that keep coming, some of which are contrived and become slightly tiring. There are also some really neat editing tricks that go much appreciated, and some small moments of just clever writing, like playing out a scenario only for you to realize that it was a figment of Fletcher’s imagination, and to see the scene play out again only vastly different.
I mentioned before that Ritchie’s films have always had a variety of colorful characters, but in the Gentlemen they are particularly memorable. From Mathew McConaughey’s ruthless but calculated Mickey Pearson, to Charlie Hunnam’s loyal and merciful Ray, every significant character is unique and exceedingly well acted. Many of the characters have some extremely enjoyable interactions with very well written dialogue, most of the highlights being Hunnam and Grant. The lines bounce off of each of them so well, and I found myself laughing quite frequently during their exchanges. I will say however, that Americans should be warned. A large majority of the humor might go over some of your heads, as it is based on the attitudes of members of English society, that aren’t often shown in movies. I saw a review from IGN that gave the film a meager 4/10, and I got the impression that they didn’t really know what they were talking about. Ultimately, the Gentlemen is lots of fun, and I recommend you check it out.… Expand

Saw my last movie yesterday in 2020 and I thought it was really great.

TheSaw my last movie yesterday in 2020 and I thought it was really great. The film can be found on Amazon Prime right now and is very cleverly structured, sometimes confusing and strange, especially at the beginning, but in a cool way. The individual characters play their roles believably and the rest of the act is very good. In addition, a top synchronization (I'll see it in the original sound in time), all associated voices fit, and a crude language. Matthew McConaughey as a drug lord and gangster strong as usual, but also people like Charlie Hunnam or Colin Farell, as well as Hugh Grant (strong performance, in a very strange way his character reflects the film quite well).

The film is a kind of action comedy with very strong scenes and with just under 2 hours not too long, at least at no point did I have the feeling of being presented unnecessary lengths. You are actually constantly excited while watching and you have to stay focused so as not to lose yourself too much at the beginning. Roughly speaking, it's about asserting oneself in the jungle of the underworld.

So overall I was thrilled, taking out well-placed action, the cool sayings and also a very good balance between quick storytelling and speed. Add the already mentioned good cast and the individual surprises in the film and you have a very good gangster film. The only negative thing I received is the figure of the Dry Eye, I couldn't believe his portrayal, because I liked Lord George better and the ending is a bit too "constructed and random" for me.

9/10 sales locations.… Expand

He was in the slot of making fantasy and adventurous things for a couple of his works but now I think the original Ritchie is back. Not up to the mark of Snatch and Lock, Stock... but this is also a quite interesting one. Narration is good and the cut back formula that he is always using in his movies. Nice on to watch for all Ritchie fans.… Expand

The story was nuanced, the characters were witty and well fleshed out. The plotline had twists and turns that kept you guessing. This is probably Guy Ritchie's best film to date and that is a hard thing to say considering how good Snatch and Lock stock were. This was honestly as close to a perfect movie as I can imagine there being if you enjoy crime flicks. Anyone who gave this a bad review was probably a sensitive little snowflake who couldn't handle the graphic violence and crude language, which is **** sad.… Expand

Guy Ritchie movies feel like a roller coaster to me but with the big hill at the end. Slow, burning build up, all sorts of twists and turns and action, the climax, a couple more twists and...done. I just wish a couple of the twists weren't so predictable. I mean, really, what did you think was going to happen when you did that? Also, I like movies with quick, snappy, smart dialogue and this movie has it in spades, but there are a few instances where lines that were supposed to be smart just come out really bad. I still have to give it a 9, tho. Very fun movie.… Expand

Guy Ritchie is still amazing at writing funny dialogue and building worlds filled with crazy and interesting criminals. So it is Great to see him back at what he does best: gangster movies that are funny,smart and charming. I think this is his best film since Snatch and if you liked his early work you will love this movie.
The story is a little predictable but it’s not a Nolan film, so it didn’t bothered me a second.
I hope you enjoy this film as I did and if we’re lucky we get more old school guy Ritchie movies in the future from now on.… Expand

We don't appreciate Guy Ritchie enough. He's produced the goods yet again. The script is funny and fresh. The direction is brilliant. Grant, McConaughey and Hunnam are captivating. Don't miss this (unless you are allergic to profanity).

With some preposterous plot moments aside, "The Gentlemen" is diabolically entertaining with director Ritchie deliberately being cynical.
