American expat Mickey Pearson has 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.
The Gentlemen lands in a familiar zone for Guy Ritchie — energetic, stylish, and built for fans already on his wavelength, but critics were split on whether that's enough. Audience enthusiasm runs notably higher than critical opinion, suggesting the film's pleasures are real but divisive along taste lines rather than quality ones.
“The Gentlemen is nothing if not a callback to the Locks of yesteryear, star-stacked and defibrillated with enough juice to jolt a gorilla out of cardiac arrest.”
