THE GIST: Michael Pearson has built an empire growing and selling marijuana in London. When he decides to sell it off to the highest bidder, he sets off a series of plots and schemes to try and steal it from under him.The Gentlemen is a very sleek heist movie with all of the hallmarks of a Guy Ritchie production: action, violence, and more twists and turns than one can keep count of. Fortunately, the final product is very enjoyable.
Matthew McConaughey is perfectly cast as the rich drug kingpin who needs to move fast to stay ahead of the competition, especially when everything depends on it.
He's joined by Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Colin Farrell, Henry Golding, and an especially mischievous Hugh Grant, who really looks like he's having a ball.
THE BOTTOM LINE: A fine thriller, well acted, and expertly filmed that will keep you engaged and on your toes beginning to end.
Grade: 7
