The Gentlemen movie review: Guy Ritchie delivers a usual solid entertainer at the risk of getting jaded

Language: English After the roller coaster of terribleness that is the first month of 2020, it is finally nice to experience a small sliver of good news – Guy Ritchie is back in form, even if by a very small portion. Though the film never quite reaches the heights of Lock Stock and Snatch, it is rather nice to sit back and be able to enjoy watching what Ritchie does best. Other criminals around his orbit like Raymond, who works for crime boss Mickey, somehow get roped into his movements, setting off a domino effect that involves the crooks Dry Eye and Coach. Ritchie, working with his cinematographer Alan Stewart, does a superb job with the action-ey moments, which are slickly choreographed, paced and presented so cleanly they taste like a glass of your favorite beverage. Hard-nosed crime comedy dramas are always very inviting, but Ritchie has not matured as a filmmaker – the rowdy boyishness, that seemed cool back in the early 2000s, seems fairly dated now.
