The Gentlemen. Guy Ritchie. 2019.
When American born marijuana kingpin Mickey Pearce decides to sell up and retire, a chain of blackmail, violence and betrayals are set in motion. Guy Ritchie returns to his native genre with this sharp fast and very funny gangland comedy. Brilliant cast featuring the always reliable Matthew McConaugey alongside Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrel, Hugh Grant, Eddie Marsan and others. There is a bit of style over substance going on here if I'm honest but the whole thing is just a hoot with a great script, great characters and great set pieces. Plus features Colin Farrel in the second great role I've seen him in recently. And hearing Texan born McConaugey ordering a pint and a pickled egg is just surreal.
Recommended.
