One said: “Up there with some of my favourite films – a really authentic take on your drug baron/gangster’ style films that Ritchie is known for. Great casting and Hugh Grant is incredible throughout.”
Another said: “From the opening credits to the end this movie has your attention and manages to hold it throughout the movies entirety. The ensemble cast of actors and actresses were great and I really like the characters Hugh Grant and Collin Farrell play. The movie was interesting, the comedy was on point, and the story was written out well. Everybody playing one another but Mickey manages to stay on top using his wits, smarts, and charm. Amazing flick, I recommend it.”
A third viewer said: “Another great movie from Guy Richie, and this is honestly his best film since Snatch which is one of my all time favorites. The cast is amazing, and I’ve watched this film several times already and repeat viewers are just as good. Recommended!”
Another fan raved: “Guy Richie has recently bounced from great to bad and back again when it comes to his movies. Thankfully this is one of his best in years. The Gentlemen is outrageously funny, thoroughly entertaining and brilliantly original. Extra credit for Hugh Grant for a hilarious and out of type performance.”
Someone else said: “Going into this movie we knew nothing about this movie! We picked it because it was an action movie, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that’s not all it is! ! There is so much that is just going right in this movie, the acting is amazing, the dialogue we will be quoting for years to come, and just the overall plot is presented in a way you wouldn’t think works but it does!!
“This movie has some pretty big names in it and they all pulled off there characters amazingly! Matthew McConaughey’s acting is amazing like usual. The way Charlie Hunnam and Hugh Grant act together is hilarious, their banter is some of the best dialogue in the whole movie!
