I was actually a bit disappointed by The Gentlemen, since I was expecting more "ugliness", if you will (maybe a bit more action as well). Perhaps one has been spoiled by Tarantino movies ? What must be said however, is that it is still a fun film.
Matthew McConaughey is good as always. Charlie Hunnam and Colin Farrel brings out quite fine performances as well. Hugh Grant is however the star of The Gentlemen, and he's just so damn slimy and spitting out so many comedically absurd statements that you just can't help but smile when he is let loose.
The choice of music is perfect. A little favorite of mine; David Rawlings - "Cumberland Gap".
At times, I think there is simply too much dialouge, which led to some confusion in following the plot. "Who's side is he on, wait what why did he do that?" my thoughts could be summarized as during those moments. Still, the movie does not lack funny moments, and I think they serve as "redeemers".
To conclude; The Gentlemen is a fun movie with fine acting, but unfortunately it is for me lacking in some departments. If you like crime comedies however, this film is definitely for you.
70/100
