Great film, perfect balance of humour and violence. Hugh Grant is astounding, didn’t realise the guy could actually ac! As usual, ignore the politically correct snow flake critics. This is a brutally brilliant British thriller comedy.

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

But Guy Ritchie is a filmmaker that they've developed a pattern for striking out on his genius. As the arguable Tarantino of Britain, Ritchie uses dialogue and a clever, interwoven storyline to keep the audience ensnared, laughing, and sometimes shocked at the right moment. I never thought any man could make me tolerate Hugh Grant for as much screen time as he had, but Ritchie just became that man. 'The Gentlemen' is crass, hysterical and genius.

Charlie Hunnam actually is great in this film which has been something I haven't ever been able to say. Maybe we should keep him with his accent from now on. While Mathew McConaughey is wonderful as a brutal mob boss he kept me wanting more. Hugh Grant was without my favorite character he kept you guessing what he was up to the entire movie making you want more and more. I loved this movie from the dialog to the twisty plot and believe it is a must rent of this year to say the least.

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

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

If, as Rex Reed writes, "It was written with empty-headed desperation and directed with minimal imagination by Guy Ritchie," then why is it so much damned fun?

This is directedIn The Gentlemen, Mickey Pearce (Matthew McConaughey), the head of a large British marijuana ring, is planning to retire and sell off his business. However, things go awry when his empire is threatened. This was a fun film.

This is directed and written by Guy Ritchie, and like his Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and, I believe, some of his other crime films (I haven't seen the rest) it relies on a lot of characters and twists-and-turns. What results is a good helping interesting moving parts, dialogue, and performances from great actors.

The script isn't quite as tight as LS&TSB. The movie could've been a bit shorter. The character of a tabloid editor played by Eddie Marsan could've been cut without effecting anything. I also felt the last scene missed a bit of a punch.

The previous criticisms are more nitpicks than major issues. Overall, this movie is a good time and I recommend it. It's not something you need to see immediately but should be given a shot.… Expand

Nothing too unexpected here, but it's funny and hugely entertaining

The Gentlemen is a return to the London gangster milieu where writer/director Guy Ritchie first made his name with films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)Nothing too unexpected here, but it's funny and hugely entertaining

The Gentlemen is a return to the London gangster milieu where writer/director Guy Ritchie first made his name with films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and snatch. (2000). And yes, the film seems stuck in the last decade in more ways than one, it's highly questionable that the only gay character is a slimy man-whore into S&M, its only female character barely even manages to rise to the level of tokenism, and Ritchie does absolutely nothing new here, but The Gentlemen is still hugely entertaining. Most of the jokes land, the dialogue is as sharp and expletive-laden as ever, the cast are having a ball, and the self-reflexivity works well for the most part. The plot is as derivative as it gets, but Ritchie has injected real verve into it. The Gentlemen won't change your life, but it will make you laugh.

The film begins as sleazy private eye Fletcher (Hugh Grant) arrives unannounced at the home of Ray (Charlie Hunnam), right-hand man to Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey), an Oxford-educated American ex-pat who controls a huge marijuana empire in London. Several months prior, Fletcher was hired by tabloid editor Big Dave (Eddie Marsen) to dig up dirt on Pearson, and Fletcher has written a screenplay based on his investigation, telling Ray that unless Pearson pays him £20 million, he will hand over everything he has to Dave. Meanwhile, Pearson has decided to sell his whole operation, but when word gets out, all hell breaks loose, as the various interested parties vie for advantage. Most of the subsequent film takes the form of Fletcher narrating his exploits to Ray, explaining how he learned so much about Pearson and what he does.

Aesthetically, The Gentlemen is very much in the mould of Ritchie's previous gangster movies. Because Fletcher frames his narration as a screenplay, it allows Ritchie to employ a multitude of self-reflexive devices – a smash cut coinciding with Fletcher asking Ray to visualise a smash cut; on-screen captions telling us who's who; animated maps; freeze-frames; rewinds; a shot of film running through a projector etc. At one point, Fletcher is discussing the merits of anamorphic over 1.78:1, and the film's aspect ratio changes accordingly. At another, he's arguing for the merits of 35mm celluloid over digital, and the film duly switches formats. Such playfulness means that it never for a second takes itself too seriously, and it remains immensely fun, with the more you know about the mechanics of assembling a film, the more humorously self-reflexive the film becomes – Fletcher even acknowledges his own role as an unreliable narrator.

In terms of themes, the most obvious is the idea that the economic divide between gangsters and aristocrats masks their practical similarities. The smooth running of Pearson's business depends on both classes – the aristocrats who he needs to grow his product and the gangsters who distribute that product. The clash between the pompous insularity of the English upper class and the perceived uncouthness of the lower class has been done to death in both literature (Wuthering Heights (1847) springs to mind) and film (Performance, for example), and although Ritchie doesn't say anything even remotely new about it, it still forms an interesting textural background – gentrification is ever-present; there are ironic references to the posh areas of Croydon; Ray, a working-class Newcastle native, is a cleanliness freak who eats wagyu steak and lives in a mansion, and when he's dispatched on a mission to an uncivilised working-class area, he explains he "just hates them junkies," seeing them as very much his social inferiors.

One of the most central scenes sees Ray and his mn clash with a gang of machete-wielding thugs on a council estate, and there's a real sense of old vs. new – traditional gangsters fighting it out with internet-savvy hoodlums who don't give a damn about tradition or respect. There are a lot of laughs to be had with these issues, such as Ray and Coach (a scene-stealing Colin Farrell) having problems pronouncing the name Phuc. And again, none of this is presented as even remotely serious.

The biggest problems with the film are probably its lack of depth, and the familiarity of the presentation, characters, and milieu – there's nothing here you haven't seen in previous Ritchie films. And as you would expect, there isn't much in the way of emotional maturity or narrative complexity. It's all very surface-level, and it makes no apologies for such.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed The Gentlemen. It's a funny as hell caper and the actors are clearly having terrific fun. It might be formulaic and overly familiar, but it's also immensely enjoyable.… Expand

After thoroughly enjoying the Sherlock Holmes movies the dry spell isTL;DR - It has been a while that I have thoroughly and un-ironically loved a Guy Ritchie movie, King Arthur was trash but still fun and well Aladdin was middle of the road. After thoroughly enjoying the Sherlock Holmes movies the dry spell is over as The Gentlemen is Ritchie's style and storytelling firing on all cylinders, not as brilliant as Snatch but it is pretty close.

The Good
When Ritchie broke on the scene with gypsy boxing legends and diamond heists his character writing and dialogue writing were the two shining beacons amidst his interesting and energetic style. This movie does the same making the characters the primary focus dissolving most of the big name actors into the on screen personas we see and build connections with.
Hugh Grant pulls out all the stops overturning his sweetheart typecast since Notting Hill into a slimy reporter with a sharp tongue and greedy nature. Matthew McConaughey carves out a niche for himself in such a way that even in a morally questionable role he still comes off as likable making you want to root for his character. Hunnam seems to have got a sweet spot as a supporting role to flex his acting chops in the right way here, since he is likable in King Arthur but from a so bad it is good perspective.
Special props for Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell and Henry Golding stealing the scenes even in the limited screen time they were given.
Ritchie's stylistic choices works fantastically along with a witty and sharp script in this case co written by Ritchie with Davies and Atkinson who have all worked together before.

The Bad
Very little is not entertaining in the movie. Maybe it could be a little slow the first 15 - 20 min, not in a slow burn kind of way just a little too restrained, but accelerates and picks up speed for the rest of it. Hopefully millennial and general short attention spans will give the movie more time than a cursory overview before deeming this movie boring, if that does happen well it is most definitely their loss.

The Gentlemen is a smart, sharp and entertaining watch that uses the Guy Ritchie's strength - riding the line of gritty realism and stylistic flair. If every Aladdin helps Ritchie makes a movie like this I am ok with that deal and will never again question his choice of directing something that makes no sense for Guy Ritchie to be involved with.… Expand

2020s most recent comedy gangster flick from English director Guy Ritchie can be described in one way and one way only:
Pure Ritchie magic!
The Gentlemen is, in my opinion, without a doubt the best film in Ritchies career since Snatch (2000).2020s most recent comedy gangster flick from English director Guy Ritchie can be described in one way and one way only:
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
