For me, Snatch is Guy Ritchie's "Pulp Fiction". More raw and still evolving as a director, but pure genius and iconic. The Gentlemen is his Django Unchained, being the product of the director really having mastered his craft and his style of filmmaking. Both have fantastic casts, characters, writing, etc. They're standout highlights in the career portfolio already filled with other great works.

Collin was my favorite character by far but Hugh's performance was such a pleasant surprise compared to his roles in romances, here he was such a sassy asshole!

This man is a smart man that appreciates culture. Many don’t realize that successful career criminals would have been successful in almost any walk of life but are typically born in to what they became. Great that KZread and Cinema gives them the chance to walk a different path because their insight in to a different world would otherwise be lost. Also loved this movie, charismatic characters that really pull you in to a believable storyline; no cgi needed; just solid actors, script, and filming.

Thank you for not sleeping on Colin Farrell's role in the story. He is my favorite character in The Gentlemen, too. Coach's fatherly relationship with The Toddlers shines through, and he saves Mickey's skin on four (*holds up 4 fingers) different occasions.

Such a great film. Originally I thought having a very American sounding McConaughey will be jarring, but he literally draws you in and steals the show

Looking forward to his new movie. Love Guy Ritchie's work. Every movie keeps me hooked from start to end.

Brilliant! Only just came across you, just about to watch more! 😊❤

Gotta admit, I was *not* expecting such a masterful dissection of the art of cinematography. He ain’t coming into this cold, bro’s done his research and instead of focusing on the similarities and differences between reality (his own experience) and the screen portrayal, he concentrates on Guy Ritchie’s crafting of a story from a script, with some awesome character acting performances - truly Hugh Grant’s Magnus Opus, what he could’ve achieved if he’d not sold out to the cheap but easy RomCom market, one wonders😂😂 - and just sprinkles in the lightest dusting of his own criminal past where it really adds value to the analysis. In case you couldn’t tell, I like & respect this guy a huge amount. Have bought the book, tyvm, and I’ll give it a read. Great video.

I never liked Hugh Grant as an actor but his performance in this film draws me back again and again.

Mr. Gillen, what a great idea ... an ex-gangster giving your opinion on what i thought was a great and engaging end to end movie. i totally agree that each scene pulled you thru. it was compelling and comparing it to your actual knowledge added something that no other commentary has which was excellent. i wasn't expecting you to go into character detail which was an added bonus. I'm curious tho of what you made of charlie hunnam, as i thought he carried the role really well. not easy to play opposite both hugh grant and colin farrell and hold your own which i thought he did really well. all the best.

The dialogue in this movie is just 🤌
