alright alright alright this movie is crazy and I imagine I can only imagine a
cinematic celebration of men's locker room talk and I don't mean in the
offensive way there is there's not only one but two over-the-top gay characters
in this movie and so many slurs against women and Asians things that usually you
simply cannot say but as Colin Farrell's character explains in the movie if you
say it was love and it comes from a good place and it's actually a compliment and
I'd have to say with the exception of women cuz there's just one in this movie
Michelle Dockery who's quite good playing a very downstairs character in
contrast to her famously upstairs Lady Mary it's unusual to see such strong
representation and not just a mainstream movie but a movie like this and oh
everyone is having so much fun in fact when the movie is was over I was like I
want to play gangster because this film is so over the top it does feel like
everyone involved is playing gangster oh I got you no you didn't because you
didn't know I had this well you didn't know I had this and by the way I'm
saying all this was love this is the charm of the film writer director and
producer Guy Ritchie has made the Jackson Pollock of gangster films it is
so all over the place and has so much energy such clever ideas like wow how
mickey builds his marijuana empire is genius it's a really good idea and it's
a biting commentary at the same time on the UK's class the realities of the UK's
class system Plus this movie has an incredibly out-of-left-field framing
device that I won't give away this movie has so many spoilers in it be careful
not to have it ruined for you it's kind of like not on people's radars I think
it will be so it's the whole thing the whole movies kind of coming out
field so I think if you see it like opening weekend you'll be okay but don't
talk to anyone about it because you don't want them to spoil anything for
you it's just it was it was a marvel to behold this thing unfold Guy Ritchie is
so ambitious here and coming again from such a good place that you have no
choice but to stand I was going to say is this in a file you have no choice but
to stand I mean I don't know some people might be like I'm offended and I can't
get over it I think that's not the takeaway that you
should have I think most people especially if you love movies even
casually will really admire what Guy Ritchie has done here it's basically a
2020 version this movie did come out in 2019 in the UK like at the beginning of
December but it's you know it's basically 2020 version of a 90s movie
you know the movie said so many of us love it's also a bit of a love letter to
England right modern England in particular even while highlighting some
of England's problems it's got the classic English countryside and estates
everyone's wearing plaid and I love it everyone looks fantastic and also it has
the diversity of modern England which I thought was very nice and also of course
it highlights the marijuana industry actually making a pretty strong case for
why marijuana is not only the nicest of criminal trades but it's all it's gonna
be legit soon it's not it's like kind of got one foot in criminal be an active
activity and another in an unfair business and I think the comparison to
liquor post-prohibition is a very good one right and McConaughey's Mickey by
way of Ricci of course he was writing his dialogue
he's a very good salesman as for the cast it's a men's magazine of who's who
Andrew Silva should have been in this movie maybe the sequal McConaughey is in
top form you know it seemed like he may be you know Ren's course the second time
you know like there was those dumb Lincoln commercials which he's still
making I hope he's getting a lot of money for them because I think they
really hurt his reputation even if he they let him direct them it's just not
worth it I think because here he reminds you in the right reminds you that in the
right Rolle he's still very capable of playing
the lead I really liked him here I also really liked Charlie Hunnam this is the
best I've ever seen Charlie Hunnam and guy rich he certainly
makes it up to him for King Arthur which had its moments but I didn't think
Charlie Hunnam was one of those moments I thought he was kind of bland there but
I hear he's very good now King Arthur by the way co-star Jude
Law and it looks like Hunnam is another pretty boy actor who's actually better
off in character roles and on that note I do love cheeky Hugh Grant and playing
gay characters seems to be his sweet spot as he's now three for three he is
fabulous here Jeremy strong though I'm not so sure I
did feel his performances borderline caricature and offensive again if you
remember the LGBTQ community you should weigh in here I'm not so I don't know
for sure but as a non member of the LGBT community
Jeremy Strong's performance made me real nervous fuck who's on said I'd be like
Jeremy are you sure I mean he definitely makes a strong choice but I'd be like I
think we should go find some LG TPP LGBT people and ask them what they think
because this seems offensive to me but as I said he made a strong choice and of
course he's a very charismatic actor Henry Golding is basically just playing
Henry Golding which is what the role requires right and he holds his own with
the rest of the group which i think is saying something considering he's pretty
new to the game and Colin Farrell well comedy of course as we all know is
definitely his strong suit he's so good here I also have to give a shout out to
Farrell's boys right who are headed up by UK rapper Bugsy Malone they are an
absolute delight and have to be seen to be believed
I'm not gonna give it away it's so cool the whole movie has to be seen to be
believed and it's Hiroshi's credit just when you
think you haven't figured out you're like okay I get what kind of movie this
is he just tops himself with a cool new twist or a cool scene until eventually
you just sit back again and say I have no choice but to stand so that's my
review of the gentlemen I think you should definitely see it right get ready
for a bunch of offensive stuff but it's done with love so I think you'll have a
really good time it's really good so share your own thoughts down below again
