Methinks it’s a good thing that the first official trailer for Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen makes no mention of King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. It’s a nice watch from time to time but The Gentlemen looks like a proper reset for Ritchie in reunion with actor Charlie Hunnam, and for a witty gangster comedy thriller touting action that looks ten times better than mentioned in their medieval 2017 outing.
From writer/director Guy Ritchie comes THE GENTLEMEN, a star-studded sophisticated action comedy. THE GENTLEMEN follows American expat Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him (featuring an all-star ensemble cast including Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant).
I’m liking what they’re doing, and Colin Farrell’s look and dialogue in this film so far brings a worthy chuckle. I chuckled.
January 24? Cool.
