The Gentlemen movie review: Guy Ritchie puts A-list cast in B-grade plot, makes grand return to gangster films

The Gentlemen Director - Guy Ritchie Cast - Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, Michelle Dockery, Henry Golding The Gentlemen movie review: Guy Ritchie rounds up an A-list cast for his grand return to gangster cinema. Unlike, say, Martin Scorsese, who has always maintained that he isn’t a ‘gangster movie director’, Ritchie is clearly in his element when he’s telling overly complicated stories about the least complex criminals in the world. In another scene, Hugh Grant says quite nonchalantly, “Chinamen upgrade faster than iPhones.” This image released by STXfilms shows Colin Farrell, left, and Charlie Hunnam in a scene from The Gentlemen. Matthew McConaughey plays a smooth American drug kingpin named Mickey, who runs his marijuana empire with his wife, who’s described as ‘the Cockney Cleopatra to Mickey’s cowboy Caesar.’ A rich American businessman attempts to buy Mickey’s empire, alternately insulting and massaging his esteem, while a newspaper editor who was spurned by Mickey at a party retaliates by initiating an investigation into his dealings.
