A Gentleman's Quote Is A Gentleman's Word

I don't know what film the critics saw because this movie is bloody brilliant! I didn't know Hugh Grant had this performance in him-incredible! Ritchie is in top form. The chemistry between Grant and Charlie Hunnam is fantastic. McConaughey is McConaughey but that's not a bad thing and Ritchie's story precludes Matthew being burdened with a British accent. It's also good to see Colin Farrell doing something enjoyable. As always with a Ritchie film: Great style and great music. Great good fun, beautifully executed and acted.
