After 2000’s “Snatch,” everyone was waiting to see what Guy Ritchie would do next in the crime comedy, well after two decades of hit or miss with mainstream studios films he has returned with excellent results. “The Gentlemen” is fast-paced and hilariously violent and fits right into Guy Ritchie’s unofficial crime comedy trilogy that also features “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch.” Matthew McConaughey, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, and Colin Farrell all give outstanding performances in this film. However, the standout’s in this film are Charlie Hunnam and Hugh Grant, who deliver some very hilarious moments and fantastic performances together. While the film can be a little confusing at times and not as quotable as Guy Ritchie’s other two crime films, “The Gentlemen” is still a fun and entertaining ride from beginning to end and knows that it doesn’t have to be taken seriously. Thanks to the smart and witty screenplay, Guy Ritchie’s impeccable direction, and fantastic performances by Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, and Hugh Grant, “The Gentlemen” establishes that this is a return to form for Guy Ritchie and I would say this is the most fun Guy Ritchie has had since 2000’s “Snatch” because you put him in his crime comedy element then he will give you a good time at the theater.
