visually unexceptional when it's not plain squalid, shameless in its bid for a sequel, "The Gentlemen" is the film Britain deserves as it staggers backwards into the New Year under the questionable influence of an unabashedly populist leader
typical of a Guy Ritchie script, the storytelling is lively, with flashbacks stacked on top of each other, and fuelled by his usual sweary humour, bloodshed and loquacious wordplay
there's lots of fun to be had; What it lacks in freshness and depth, "The Gentlemen" certainly makes up for in cartoon-y bluster and fun details. Welcome home, Mr. Ritchie.. it's a Guy Ritchie's slippery, enjoyable flick
Guy Ritchie has made an entertaining return to his mockney roots; Another dose of geezer-gangstery made all the more watchable by star turns from Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant
featuring a stellar ensemble cast, Guy Ritchie's homecoming is a fairly familiar affair, but also refreshingly funny and deftly plotted, with more witty lines and less boorish machismo than his early work
a riotous, roaring return to form for the writer/director, "The Gentlemen" is a fast-paced, wickedly scripted thrill ride with a terrific ensemble cast and a cracking storyline; it's so much damn fun
