by Bradley Spurlock If you know anything about Guy Ritchie, you know that he has made his name mostly off of Gangster Comedy films that are full of very unique characters. "The Gentlemen" is no exception to this rule. Ritchie is hot off directing the 2019 top 10 box office hit "Aladdin". His directorial debut came with his 1998 crime film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". Though this was his first film, his filmography includes movies like "Sherlock Holmes" (2009), "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" (2015), "Aladdin" (2019), and perhaps his most popular "Snatch" (2000). This film follows the story of drug lord Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) and his bodyguard/right hand man Ray (Charlie Hunnam) as they try to get out of the drug game and sell the empire Pearson built. The only problem is that everyone wants a piece of Pearson’s business. When Pearson finds a buyer for his business in an Oklahoma businessman named Matthew (Jeremy Strong), a series of unfortunate events is caused by an up-and-comer named Dry Eye (Henry Golding) to try and throw off this deal for personal gain. While the group is going through their trials and tribulations, they’re being followed and recorded by a man named Fletcher (Hugh Grant), who is trying to get $20,000,000 from this deal via blackmail. The film goes through a string of intricate plots and schemes where you find out that everyone has their own interest in this deal.
