We Don't See It This Good Anymore: The Gentlemen Film Review@olujay721d

If I had known what I was missing in The Gentlemen series, I probably would have watched and enjoyed it sooner. What I found the most interesting were the intricate uniqueness of the characters, the coherence of each part of the film, and the adequate comic elements that livened it all.

Netflix had been recommending the film to me for a long time, but I just never felt interested, especially when I gave Netflix's preview a try. I just thought it was going to be some slow-paced film about some political or social hierarchy. I was wrong after all, as I became eager to know if and when there would be a sequel.

What mostly made me want to watch the series was Theo James playing the lead character. His performance in the Digervent series was outstanding, and so I was interested to see if he held that up - after a decade.

When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it's home to a huge weed empire, and its proprietors aren't going anywhere. _{_IMDb}

There are usually certain points in films, especially in series, where you may feel like the momentum isn't as great as it was before, and perhaps it could pick itself back up again. It was different in The Gentlemen. I couldn't think of any part of the film being even a tad bit off-beat. It was mostly consistent, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Credit to the story writer.

Something I quickly observed in the film was how uniquely interesting each of the characters was. They were all very different from themselves, but there was this peculiarity in them that the addition of them all and the interactions between them further made me enjoy the film.

I couldn't even fault any of the acting performances in any way because, to me, they all put in good efforts to give life to their characters. My favourite was Theo, though, playing Eddie, the lead character.

"Action comedy" is how this film was themed. I had never really enjoyed this type of style before, but this film made me realise that it was actually doable in a way that it truly would be enjoyable.

Now the comedy was more than "obvious." It was properly crafted and embedded in the dialogue and demeanour of some characters. How all that was fused with the action in the film is yet another discussion. Unlike the cliche you'd see in some other action films, what we find in this film is realistic and entertaining.

Everything started with the attempt to solve a problem. In trying to do that, more problems arose, and they had to be sorted out as well. And on and on, we keep finding our main characters going deeper into their situations, and it all flowed so coherently that I became engrossed in the film at some point.

With films that start really well, how they end gradually becomes a concern. How The Gentlemen ended gave me yet another reason to appreciate the film even more. Brilliant and proper - that's how I would like to describe how the eight-part series ended.

There was some level of gore in the film, though. If you are not comfortable seeing blood, then you should know that there's quite a lot of that in the film. But that is pretty much it. You don't see where exactly the blood could be coming from or get the actual sight of the "damage," and I think that makes the film a lot more convenient to watch.

I could watch The Gentlemen a second time and still enjoy many parts of the film. I rarely ever do that - watch films over and over again - but that's how good this series was to me.

I give it a 9/10.

La relación de hermanos entre Eddie y Freddy se sintió real y muy bonita, me encantó.

The Knights is a series that will make you want to watch more, it has very interesting characters that make the series not boring.

The brotherly relationship between Eddie and Freddy felt real and very beautiful, I loved it.

›The Gentlemen 2024 Review@filotasriza3827d

I don't know about you but i think 2024 has already offered some great series with huge potential. Literally, every month there is one or two series that i would rate with 8/10 and above and i am not really that easy giving these reviews. You see after you watch thousands of movies/series/anime you start to have expectations in every aspect.

You pay attention to the plot, the character development, the dialogs, scenario, acting, sceneries, fight scenes if any, comedy/drama aspect, CGI and the list goes on forever. So yesterday The Gentlemen series came to my attention randomly while i was searching for a new series to watch.

I have seen the name a couple of weeks ago but to tell you the truth i didn't think that would be worth my time and boy i was so wrong. I later realized that the creator of this show is Guy Ritchie who you may know from Snatch and Sherlock Holmes.

The series is brand new it was released a couple of weeks ago (March 7th) through Netflix and has 8 episodes in total. I don't know whether there will be a second season or so but i really hope so as the show is pretty good and a bit different from any other we have seen, in a way ofc.

Plot

So this is another Mafia/Drugs story but with a twist. The story is set in UK and revolves around Eddie who is a young aristocrat working as a UN Soldier. He learns that his father is about to die and that he needs to come back home to see him. So he comes back to his family castle, note that his father is a duke, where he meets again with his family, his sister and his crazy big brother.

His father dies and even though by tradition the older kid gets to inherit everything, his father knowing that his eldest son is batshit crazy and stupid he leaves everything to Eddie. Ofc his elder brother doesn't take this lightly but he has no other choice.

Soon also, he will meet Ms. Glass an associate of his father who explains their business relationship which will continue now with Eddie. Pretty much the castle and the Duke as many other Dukes have financial issues and basically, one of the biggest Marijuana cartels let's say, had a deal with his dad.

The deal is that in an area inside the dukedom, they have an underground plantation and basically pay let's say a rent fee to the Duke. This is considered a great move as most of the Dukes have many ties with the government which makes it quite hard for everyone to assume that they are involved in drugs. Even if they do so it's difficult to search them due to their connections as well as the connection of the cartel. So in other words it's the perfect place.

Now the new Duke Eddie will face the dilemma of what to do and how he will manage to get rid of the Mafia from his estate. To do that though he will need to get his hands dirty as well which makes the show interesting.

Good & Bad

Now the interesting thing is the plot itself. It's not a mysterious plot or something, it's actually pretty straightforward but the interesting thing, at least for me is that i haven't seen anything like that, that involves the estate of a Duke and a drug plantation at the same place. I never talk about acting in general, i only point out if it's good which it is actually pretty good. If it was bad i would talk more!

Also, the fight scenes, even though not many, are pretty good, the music is quite awesome as well as the sceneries but the most unique thing in my mind are the characters. It's one of them has his own personality and i don't only talk about the protagonists. Some of the "villains" let's say are pretty damn unique, like the Gospel, for example, a crazy Mafia boss that is all about Jesus while he is killing people.

The only negative thing i have to say is the brother of Eddie, Freddy, who is basically quite crazy and stupid which makes it quite entertaining and the actor does a pretty awesome work in that regard. The negative thing is that there is no further development for him in the show. Let's hope that in case of a second season, it will be!

Overall, if you like these kinds of shows then it is definitely worth your time. If you want to see something with less action, no drugs/mafia plot and with a deeper plot then this sho isn't for you. I would rate it with 8/10 and i think it has potential for 1 more or 2 seasons that can uplift my rate to an 8.5 even 9 if it's done correctly.

›The Gentlemen (film): Not Ritchie's best, but still really good@netflixr888d
Guy Ritchie has a particular directing style that I think I can speak for almost everyone when I say that it is appreciated. This deviates slightly from his "lock stock and snatch" style and I was kind of happy to see that because you do want your favorite directors to mix things up a bit when they are making films.

It does kind of fall into Ritchie's fascination with crime and especially organized crime though.

This movie takes place in the UK but features a couple of American main characters and I think this was done mostly to find a way to get Matthew McConaughey into the cast by any means necessary.

src

You likely don't recognize most of the other names in this linup other than Hugh Grant and Colin though and this is another thing that I tend to appreciate about Guy Ritchie. He takes a few really well known names and then mixes them in with relative unknowns and it all just works out so perfectly most of the time.

There were a few aspects of the film that I found a bit annoying and one of them is actually quite critical to how the story is told. Basically, the narrator of the entire story is Hugh Grant who plays the role of an investigative reporter who is attempting to blackmail a crime "family." His character named Fletcher just has kind of an annoying way about him and I tired quite quickly of him being the voice behind the story.

src

I think being a snarky, quick-witted, conman was a bit of a deviation from what Hugh Grant normally does and I kind of felt like he was out of his element in this role. This might not be entirely Grant's fault though because according to some sources I read Guy Ritchie only scheduled 5 days for filming all of Grant's footage and you have to keep in mind that although he isn't in really any action scenes, he does basically narrate the entire film. His part in the film is extremely dialogue heavy and his script was apparently 40 pages long and he wasn't given much time to memorize his lines. He is a professional with plenty of experience so one would think that he would be up to the task anyway. Well, he created a cheat sheet for the days of filming but his car was broken into the day before filming his part began and one of the things that was stolen was his cheat sheet.

Hugh would later say that getting this job done was one of the most difficult jobs he has had to do in his entire life and it was very stressful.

Let's move on from that though and focus on the overall story.

It involves a intricately planned underground marijuana processing ring in the UK and the way in which McConaughey's character Mickey Pearson organizes it and gets away with it all is actually pretty inventive. It's so good in fact that I wonder if precisely this sort of organization actually does exist in the UK. It seems like it would work to me. I'm not going to spoil what it is but you'll know when you see it. It is pure genius.

src

Much like other Ritchie films, there are a lot of characters involved in the story and if you don't pay careful attention you are quickly going to get lost in what the hell is going on. I particularly liked Colin Farrell's portrayal of "Coach" and his group of MMA underlings who go by the name of "the Toddlers."

src

Coach doesn't actually want anything to do with the criminal underworld but his group accidentally gets involved and he has to be the brains that gets them out of trouble. If I had to choose a favorite character in the entire film it would definitely be "Coach." Trust me on this one, you are going to like him as well.

As is typical with many Guy Ritchie films, the story changes direction multiple times as it goes on and while I wouldn't exactly say the ending was completely unpredictable, it does a good job of keeping you guessing as things go by. Keep in mind that you are definitely going to need to pay careful attention during the entire nearly 2 hour runtime otherwise you are going to be totally lost. There are just too many characters in this thing for you to be vacuuming the living room floor while it is going on.

Should I watch it?
I don't think it is necessary for you to enjoy Ritchie's unique style of direction in order to enjoy this film but it probably wouldn't hurt. I really enjoy crime films, especially ones with a comical edge that is so unique to Ritchie's style, so for me this film was outstanding despite the fact that I found Hugh Grant's narration to be a bit annoying. While I wouldn't put this up there as one of Ritchie's best films, I do think it is much better than most of the films that I have watched in the past year or so. It managed to quadruple its budget at the box office, but then again, the fact that this film was made for a mere $22 million is pretty astounding to me. Ritchie must be great friends with these big stars to get them to be in his movies for so little money.

_{Currently, the only legal way to watch this is to buy or rent it on a wide array of providers including Apple, Amazon, Google, and VUDU}

Bonjour,

Hier soir, nous avons regardé ce film britannique, d'une durée d'1h53, classé dans la catégorie action/gangsters/comédie.

Source

Comme vous le voyez sur l'affiche du film, il y a de bons acteurs, de gauche à droite : Henry Golding, Charlie Hunnam, Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, Michelle Dockery et Hugh Grant. Tout ce beau monde est dirigé par Guy Ritchie.

Si vous ne connaissez pas encore Guy Ritchie, c'est un réalisateur/producteur/.. un peu "spécial". C'est notamment lui qui a réalisé les films Sherlock Holmes avec Robert Downey Jr. Il a aussi réalisé Agents Très Spéciaux Code Uncle .. Il aime les mises en scène, avec un narrateur, présent physiquement ou non, qui raconte ce qui se déroule sous nos yeux.

Synopsis :

La première 1/2h du film, il y avait très peu d'actions, on commence par voir une scène dans un café, on sait que quelqu'un s'y est fait tué par balle, mais on ne sait pas qui.

Commence alors l'histoire qui nous mènera jusqu'à cette scène en fin de film.

Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) est un patron de la drogue, du cannabis + exactement. Mickey a plusieurs fermes à cannabis et souhaiterait vendre son affaire pour sortir de ce milieu. Il est secondé par Raymond (Charlie Hunnam) et soutenu par son épouse Rosalind (Michelle Dockery). Œil sec (Henry Golding) est un des candidats acheteurs. Fletcher (Hugh Grant) est écrivain-journaliste-reporter et veut vendre le scénario qu'il a écrit au + offrant. Dans ce scénario, il raconte l'histoire de Mickey Pearson et des personnes qui l'entourent, avec des photos et vidéos à l'appui. Autant dire qu'il a en sa possession quelques jolies preuves qui pourraient nuire.

Il est venu raconter son histoire à Raymond, qui se retrouve un peu forcé de l'écouter pour savoir exactement ce dont Fletcher est au courant. Au fur et à mesure que Fletcher raconte l'histoire, on la voit se dérouler. Le coach de boxe (Colin Farrell) leur sera utile, même si ses élèves sont un peu dissipés, pour leur sauver la mise et la vie.

Mon avis et petites infos :

Durant la première partie du film, on se demandait ce qui nous avait pris de vouloir le regarder et pourquoi ces bons acteurs avaient accepté d'y jouer. Il y avait pas mal de vulgarité gratuite et on était un peu perdu à s'interroger de l'intérêt de nous montrer ci ou là. Ensuite, on s'est mis à sourire à cause de l'une ou l'autre expression/remarque qui était incongrue. Puis, on a pouffé de rire quelques fois. L'histoire a pris du sens et l'action s'est installée. On a fini par comprendre que ces acteurs aient accepté d'y jouer, mais on ne sait toujours pas si on a aimé ou non ce film.

Comme cela date déjà de 2020, vous l'avez peut-être vu .. qu'en avez-vous pensé ?

A bientôt, bonnes soirées-tv !

›[Movie review] [Eng | Esp] The Gentlemen | Being a marijuana kingpin is not easy@jrjaime1277d
Welcome dear internet travelers lovers of crime and thank you very much for having made a temporary stop in my post, lately I am watching many movies that are recommended to me on tiktok (Do not ask the reason since not even I know it jajaja) The heart of the matter is that it was through this platform that I saw a short film "The Gentlemen" that caught my attention and I could not help but take a look at it when I saw that the main focus of it was organized crime, one of my favorite genres. Without more than adding put on your sacks that we will be elegant mafiosi and break the law.

Bienvenidos queridos viajeros del internet amantes del crimen y muchas gracias por haber hecho una parada temporal en mi post, últimamente estoy viendo muchas películas que me salen recomendadas en tiktok (No pregunten la razón puesto que ni siquiera yo la sé jajaja) El meollo del asunto es que fue mediante esta plataforma que vi un corto del filme “The Gentlemen” que me llamó la atención y no pude evitar echarle un ojo al ver que el enfoque principal del mismo era el crimen organizado, uno de mis géneros favoritos. Sin más que agregar pónganse sus sacos que seremos mafiosos elegantes y quebrantaremos la ley.

The Gentlemen was released in 2019, written and directed by Guy Ritchie, produced by Miramax, has a duration of 1 hour and 53 minutes. It is a story of action and crime, the story takes place in England where an American drug lord laid the foundations to have a very profitable marijuana business, once the empire established and being very profitable decides that the time has come to retire to lead a quieter life; The problem arises precisely because of this, in the criminal world nobody "retires" peacefully and calmly so you will have to face all the consequences of wanting to stop being the king of the mafia.

The Gentlemen fue estrenada en 2019, escrita y dirigida por Guy Ritchie, producida por Miramax, cuenta con una duración de 1 hora y 53 minutos. Es una historia de acción y crimen, la historia se desarrolla en Inglaterra en donde un capo de la droga estadounidense sentó las bases para tener un negocio muy rentable de marihuana, una vez el imperio establecido y siendo muy redituable decide que ha llegado el momento de retirarse para llevar una vida más tranquila; el problema surge precisamente por esto, en el mundo criminal nadie se “retira” de forma pacífica y tranquila por lo que deberá afrontar todas las consecuencias que implica querer dejar de ser el rey de la mafia.

I am the first to say that the soundtrack is very well achieved, it feels elegant and refined which gives the moments of action that touch of class that fits excellently well making that air of distinction is maintained throughout the film without negatively affecting the different moments of adrenaline.

Soy el primero en decir que la banda sonora se encuentra muy bien lograda, se siente elegante y refinada lo que le da a los momentos de acción ese toque de clase que le queda excelentemente bien haciendo que ese aire de distinción se mantenga a lo largo del filme sin repercutir de forma negativa en los diferentes momentos de adrenalina.

The construction of the world is typical for this type of mafia premises, in fact it is based a lot on films like "Godfather" where the last link in the chain of crime is not shown but focuses on the high command of this, the connections they have made to be able to be in the position they are and so on; This topic is touched on but does not delve much into the matter because he prefers to opt more for what are the relationships between different bosses of the underworld and how they conduct their business without meddling in the affairs of others, being that when this balance is broken all hell breaks loose. It also touches on the issue of youth disrespecting the old and others although this treats it more in a comical way than it would be so it is not something relevant, the construction of the world is simple, without pretensions or complex aspirations, in fact I could say that it sins of hiding in simplicity so as not to go for something more ambitious.

La construcción de mundo es la típica para este tipo de premisas mafiosas, de hecho se basa mucho en filmes como “Godfather” en donde no se muestra al último eslabón de la cadena del crimen sino que se enfoca en los altos mandos de esta, las conexiones que han hecho para poder estar en el puesto que están y demás; se toca este tema pero no se ahonda mucho en el asunto debido a que prefiere decantarse más por lo que son las relaciones entre diferentes jefes del hampa y en cómo estos realizan sus negocios sin inmiscuirse en los asuntos de otros, siendo que cuando se rompe este equilibrio se desata el infierno. También toca el tema de la juventud irrespetando a los viejos y demás aunque esto lo trata más de forma cómica que sería así que no es algo relevante, la construcción de mundo es sencilla, sin pretenciones ni aspiraciones complejas, de hecho podría decir que peca de ocultarse en la simpleza para no ir por algo más ambicioso.

The style of narrating the story is particular, I say the above because it is interspersed between the past and the present, this method of developing the plot becomes a bit tedious because the moments of dialogues without anything interesting to contribute are quite abundant being that the only thing they achieve is the fact of relaxing the plot after a tense moment; On the other hand what it does achieve in a good way are the comic moments that do not feel forced or out of place, they are included in a pleasant way making them fit perfectly and relax the plot, the problem with these is that they feel dissonant with the approach of the film, we are supposed to talk about mafia bosses with influences and power, Adding comedy takes the matter seriously. Finally we have the plot twists, in some cases these are well achieved and are pleasant but in others they feel extremely forced and more like a resource taken out of the sleeve with the sole purpose of benefiting specific characters.

El estilo de narrar la historia es particular, lo anterior lo digo debido a que se va intercalando entre el pasado y el presente, este método de desarrollar la trama se torna un poco tedioso debido a que los momentos de diálogos sin nada interesante que aportar son bastante abundantes siendo que lo único que logran es el hecho de relajar la trama después de un momento tenso; por otro lado lo que sí logra de buena forma son los momentos cómicos que no se sienten forzados ni fuera de lugar, los mismos son incluidos de forma agradable haciendo que estos encajen de forma perfecta y relajen la trama, el problema con estos es que se sienten disonantes con el enfoque del filme, se supone que hablamos de capos de la mafia con influencias y poder, añadir comedia le quita seriedad al asunto. Por último tenemos los giros argumentales, en algunos casos estos son bien logrados y son agradables pero en otros se sienten sumamente forzados y más como un recurso sacado de la manga con el único fin de beneficiar a personajes en concreto.

The characters cannot be highlighted in any way, they lack any kind of characterization that makes them feel interesting outside the role they fulfill within the plot, they are only put to do things without emphasis on the characters; This seems sad to me because there are individuals who last a long time on screen and end up being complete strangers with a non-existent development, being that the film has relaxed moments that would have been perfect to have delved a little into its protagonists but ends up being wasted potential. I'm not talking about the antagonists are only there to be a joke that to some extent is funny, which is why I do not consider them a resounding failure.

Los personajes no pueden ser destacados de ninguna forma, carecen de cualquier clase de caracterización que los haga sentir interesantes fuera del rol que cumplen dentro de la trama, únicamente se les pone a hacer cosas sin énfasis en los personajes; esto me parece triste debido a que hay individuos que duran mucho tiempo en pantalla y terminan siendo unos completos desconocidos con un desarrollo inexistente, siendo que el filme tiene momentos relajados que hubiesen sido perfectos para haber ahondado un poco en sus protagonistas pero termina siendo potencial desperdiciado. De los antagonistas ni hablo solo están ahí para ser un chiste que hasta cierto punto es gracioso, es por ello que no los considero un rotundo fracaso.

The Gentlemen is a gangster movie that is interesting for the fact that it focuses on different capos with their lucrative businesses facing each other for different circumstances, the thing is that it does not present so much action as to consider it unbridled or weigh some complex issue to make it feel deep; All this makes him in a middle point in which he tries to do many things and ends up doing few satisfactorily. All this makes it worthy of 3.5 stars out of 7, it is a completely enjoyable film but it could have given more because it had the potential to do so.

The Gentlemen es una película de mafiosos que es interesante por el hecho de que enfoca a diferentes capos con sus negocios lucrativos enfrentándose por diferentes circunstancias, la cosa es que no presenta tanta acción como para considerarla desenfrenada ni sopesa algún tema complejo para hacerla sentir profunda; todo esto hace que quede en un punto medio en el que intenta hacer muchas cosas y termina haciendo pocas de forma satisfactoria. Todo ello la hace merecedora de 3.5 estrellas de 7, es un filme completamente disfrutable pero pudo haber dado más debido a que tenía el potencial para hacerlo.

A medida que Fletcher va atando cabos, Ray se lo toma más en serio, ya que el periodista lo siguió a él y a su jefe por algunos meses, al igual que a los demás personajes de la película, por lo que por un momento nos hace pensar que en realidad se había ganado sus 20 millones, pero con un giros finales realmente geniales y con un nuevo enemigo inesperado para el gran Mickey, la película nunca nos deja de sorprender.

Dentro de la seriedad de la película, se pueden observar diferentes escenas muy hilarantes y unas locuras que se ven muy bien, como el robo por parte de los muchachos del Coach (Collin Farrell) a una de las granjas de Mickey, con la consiguiente batalla y el vídeo musical en las redes sociales, todos unos cracks, jajaja.

La dirección de la película me pareció muy buena, al igual que todos los escenarios, cuidando cada detalle en ellos. El guión y la forma en que la historia fue contada, presentado los personajes, sus motivaciones y lo voraces que son, la historia, sin apenas errores, con ritmo buenísimo y el humor negro característico de Ritchie, no se todo me pareció pura genialidad.

The direction of the film seemed very good to me, as well as all the settings, taking care of every detail in them.

Para finalizar, me arriesgo un poco en decir que para mí este filme es una obra maestra, que te mantendrá sentado en el sofá por los 113 minutos que dura, pero que quieren que diga, si escribiera lo contrario les estaría mintiendo. Voy hacerme unas cotufas (palomitas de maíz) para volverla a ver, jajaja.

To finish, I risk a bit in saying that for me this film is a masterpiece, that will keep you sitting on the couch for the 113 minutes it lasts, but what do you want me to say, if I wrote otherwise I would be lying to you. I'm going to make some cotufas (popcorn) to see her again, jajaja.

›The Gentlemen // FILM REVIEW@jcrodriguez2217d
It's been a long time since I've seen the films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, two films that I really liked at the time. The Gentlemen reminded me of why I enjoy so much, the mobster movies made by Guy Ritchie.

Michael Pearson , head of a drug trafficking empire, plans to retire, selling the entire successful structure of the organization to a Jewish millionaire for $400 million. Dry Eye, a young man on the rise within the Chinese mafia, enters the game, making him an offer to acquire the business and in addition, a group of young people who fight very well, and upload their exploits to the Internet, raid one of the secret headquarters where Michael grows marijuana. All this will cause betrayals, fights and confrontations, typical among these criminal gangs, to jeopardize the sale of the business. All dosed with a little violence and a lot of black humor.

_{Source IMDB}

The Gentlemen has all the signs that distinguish the director. Accelerated pace, black humor, voiceover, slow motion and fragmented narration. The story catches you and doesn't let go until the denouement.

I've enjoyed most of this filmmaker's films. He has his style, which he injects into the films he has made. He's given Ritchie style to Sherlock Holmes, to the man from U.N.C.L.E. and even to King Arthur.

There's one thing this man knows how to do: he can give stories a crazy beat, turning them into great entertainment products. What do we want from a movie? That it's pretty entertaining! That we don't stop looking at the screen, concentrating on the story.

Many of the director's followers criticized him for taking over the direction of the real-life version of Aladdin, the Disney film that was a box-office success. I didn't see it, because it doesn't attract my attention, and I'm not going to see it either. But I'm not going to criticize Ritchie for that. Every filmmaker has the right to do commissioned work, some are bound by a contract they signed. Besides, a couple of million dollars to do a job for hire doesn't hurt anybody. What would you do?

For this film, a fabulous cast of great actors has been put together, and they've had a great time making it. That's reflected on the screen. Each with their own moment to shine. There are some who, despite having less time on screen, manage to steal the show.

Collin Farrel is great in the few appearances, he suits the role of "The Coach" very well. Matthew McConaughey plays Michael Pearson, the gangster who has built an empire by trafficking marijuana, because marijuana doesn't kill anyone. Charlie Hunnam plays Raymond, Michael's right-hand man. He repeats with the director, after having starred in the King Arthur version. The other actor who makes it great is Hugh Grant, who plays the investigator Fletcher, a character who will guide the narration of almost all the film's footage.

It's a men's film. A lot of testosterone everywhere. That's my only regret. Actress Michelle Dockery plays Micheal's wife, Rosalind Pearson. The main character's weak point. The actress is known for the series Downton Abbey. The character she plays in the film, although she has her scene to show off, could have been more important. The actress already has experience playing rough women, I recommend seeing the mini-series Godless, an excellent western where she is one of the main characters.

_{Source IMDB}

The pig...making a clear self homage, in the movie there is a pig, protagonist of a scene that we never get to see, but just to imagine it, is to laugh and feel disgust at the same time. Harvey? The end of the film gives us another scene that produces the same feeling as the scene with the pig. You have to see it, you'll recognize it right away. The gangsters in The Gentlemen may be a little more refined than those seen in the director's first films, but twenty years have passed and we are not the same as before.

My Rankin: 4/5

›Король джунглей - «Джентльмены» Гая Ричи@drunksamurai2309d
Возвращения автора фильмов «Большой куш», «Рок-н-рольщик» и «Карты, деньги, два ствола» Гая Ричи к жанру криминального кино ждали многие и после экспериментов с большими бюджетами он наконец выпустил «Джентльменов» (The Gentlemen) - в которых балом правят колоритные британские бандюганы всех мастей.

Естественно, пройти мимо такого события я не мог и спешу поделиться впечатлениями от увиденного.

Микки Пирсон (Мэтью Макконахи) - американский авантюрист, придумавший и реализовавший на землях беднеющей британской аристократии масштабную сеть по выращиванию и продаже марихуаны, решает отойти от дел и продать свое весьма прибыльное предприятие.

Покупатель найден, процесс передачи нелегального бизнеса идет полным ходом, но, внезапно, в сделку на 400 миллионов фунтов начинают вмешиваться молодые подонки, китайская мафия, шотландские спортсмены и их Тренер (Колин Фаррелл). Но хуже всех оказывается пронырливый частный детектив Флетчер (Хью Грант), который умудрился не только собрать, но и изложить в виде киносценария все подробности грядущей сделки, а теперь шантажирует этим помощника Микки - хладнокровного хипстера Рэймонда (Чарли Ханнэм).

На кону стоят огромные деньги, и Рэймонду предстоит основательно потрудиться чтобы помочь боссу разгрести этот бандитский бардак.

Иначе как триумфальным это возвращение Ричи к своим корням назвать не получается и этот фильм легко мог бы носить название "Большой куш 2". Многосторонний конфликт, колоритные персонажи, черный юмор, невероятно органичный МакКонахи, в роли расчетливого гангстера и тот самый хулиганский драйв, за который, собственно мы и любим работы этого смелого британца.

Да, некоторые обозреватели выкатывают как претензию то, что Ричи без угрызений совести ворует сцены из "Черного Зеркала" (большой хрюкающий привет!) или "Криминального Чтива" (беседа гангстеров с наркоманами), но по факту - эти оммажи, как и цитаты из Киплинга и Шекспира выглядят просто прекрасно и идут истории исключительно на пользу. Да и как тут не радоваться, когда неспешный пролог и знакомство со всеми участниками этого безобразия в итоге превращается в старую-добрую кровавую баню, где оголтелый фирменный монтаж Ричи и переплетение всех сюжетных линий в одну складывается в мощный стенобитный рок-н-ролл.

Не стоит забывать - Ричи не молодеет. Его истории, как и он сам, становятся более взрослыми, и в отличие от погони за бриллиантом в "Большом Куше" - сейчас речь идет о масштабном бизнесе (который не перепрятать и не скормить цыганскому пёселю), и наконец, молодая, голодная до криминальных подвигов шпана, которой он так восхищался, не могла за эти 20 с небольшим лет не повзрослеть, поумнеть и набраться опыта. Соответственно, как опытный рассказчик теперь он имеет полное право выставлять юных гопников не иначе как дегенератами, которые комично путаются под ногами у грозных ротвейлеров-авторитетов, разыгрывающих свою виртуозную шахматную партию.

Конечно-же стоит отдать Гаю должное за то, что он не обращая внимания на тренды и толерантность снял по-настоящему мужское кино, в котором много мата или насилия и в котором легко шутят про расизм, но при этом постоянно напоминают о том, что гангстер Микки - прежде всего человек чести, для которого важнее красавицы-жены (Мишель Докери) нет никого на свете и не снимая элегантного костюма и бабочки, он способен в силу необходимости, легко превратиться из настоящего джентльмена в кровожадное и яростное чудовище.
