Guy Ritchie's new film, THE GENTLEMEN is as irreverent and uncouth as one would expect it to be given the nature of his subjects--mobsters and crime bosses in the underbelly of an illegal drug market in England. The film features a star studded cast including: Matthew McConaughey, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant.
The story begins with Hugh Grant telling a sordid tale to an uncomfortable audience and we soon learn that this tale is in fact, a list of factual events that everyone in the room has been a party to.
However, despite the sometimes racist humor and the language, Guy Ritchie elevates the tale to a place that sets it on par with great comedies, as he reveals the gentile side and the morale considerations of his subjects taking them from a place of seediness to cultured charm and reverence.
