American expat Mickey Pearson has built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
While The Gentlemen is a big step forward from Ritchies latest films, its 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

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, th...

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. So, yes, I was sort of excited to watch The Gentlemen.
With such a stellar cast, how can someone not be interested in an old-fashion...
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...
