The Gentlemen

Post by ContrifibulatoryFred »

Went to see this on Friday. It’s a UK gangster movie directed by Guy Pierce.

I thought it was highly entertaining with some great performances from Matthew McConachy and Colin Farrell, but the show was stolen by a sublimely brilliant Hugh Grant.

Has anyone else seen this yet?

Saw it last night, and have to agree. The story followed a classic Guy Ritchie style plot, but it was told in a really interesting way that made it hugely compelling. Spot on with the acting plaudits, also thought Michelle Dockery made a great cockney.

As Adz put it, a typical Guy Ritchie plot. A good watch with the main actors putting in very good performances.

Nope, nobody has managed to sit through all 3 and a half hours of it yet.

Hugh Grant said it’s the best film he’s ever been in. Not that that’s saying much etc.

He's obviously forgotten he was in Paddington 2.
