The Gentlemen (2020)

While ‘The Gentlemen’ is a big step forward from Ritchie’s latest films, it’s not the return to form fans may be hoping for. That said, there is still fun to be had here, and it may work better at home than a cinematic experience.

**_Nothing too unexpected here, but it's funny and hugely entertaining_**

- Harold Shand; _The Long Good Friday_ (1980)

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). His first foray into this territory since the disappointing _RocknRolla_ (2008), _The Gentlemen_ comes at the end of over a decade making big-budget studio-backed crimes against cinema such as _Sherlock Holmes_ (2009), _Sherlo__ck Holmes: A Game of Shadows_ (2011), _The Man from U.N.C.L.E_. (2015), _King Arthur: Legend of the Sword_ (2017), and _Aladdin_ (2019). Granted, the film seems stuck in the last decade in more ways...

I've always been a fan of Guy Ritchie's style. While I do admit that he tends to overuse his own techniques (like he does in this movie), he always manages to bring something unique to his projects. He delivered a pretty good live-action remake of Aladdin while offering his own take (Jasmine has more compelling motivations). I surprisingly enjoyed King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, but the ending is disappointing. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Sherlock Holmes films are entertaining and fun, to say the least.

With such a stellar cast, how can someone not be interested in an old-fashioned crime-thriller? First of all, I want to get thi...

Going into this movie we knew nothing about this movie! We picked it because it was an action movie, we were pleasantly surprise to find out that's not all it is!! There is so much that is just going right in this movie, the acting is amazing, the dialogue we will be quoting for years to come, and just the over all plot is presented in a way you wouldn't think works but it does!! This movie has some pretty big names in it and they all pulled off there characters amazingly! Matthew McConaughey's acting is amazing like usual. The way Charlie Hunnam and Hugh Grant act together is hilarious, their banter is some of the best dialogue in the whole movie!

**The Gentlemen** (2020) is a clever blend of wit, style, and thrilling storytelling that highlights **Guy Ritchie**'s unique cinematic flair, reminiscent of his previous works like Sherlock Holmes and Aladdin. Set in London's criminal underworld, the film follows American expat Michael Pearson (**Matthew McConaughey**), who has built a lucrative _marijuana_ empire. As he plans to cash out and retire, a web of plots and schemes unfolds, leading to an engaging game of cat and mouse among rival gangs and opportunistic players.

The cast delivers outstanding performances, with McConaughey excelling as the suave yet ruthless protagonist specially when it comes to something about his wife. **Charlie Hunnam** portrays Ray, Pearson's loyal right-hand man, adding depth to the narrative. **Hugh G...
