When I first saw the trailer, i was like "Looks like Guy Ritchie's back at what he does best" and I was not dissapointed at all! He always brings the best out of his cast, dialogue is always most quotable stuff, oh, and did you know Fletcher was played by Hugh Grant? i hardly recognized him in this film.

You’re so right this film underperformed for its brilliant quality. If I remember right it came out in January which is never a high point for viewing figures so maybe it’s just that. It will be a cult classic like snatch in a few years to be sure.

Guy Ritchie is one of the best directors out there. His storytelling, camera work, etc are insane. Snatch, Lock Stock, RocknRolla, Man From U.N.C.L.E. are musts.

My second favourite of 2020. So quotable, so stylish, and just so much fun. Guy Ritchie really is at home with this type of film. He's like a British Tarantino with his dialogue. He has a way of making every side character memorable. Colin Farrell's character might be my favourite character of 2020. He's so good. You gotta check out Snatch, too. Definitely.

13:25 - This segment PERFECTLY portrays the dynamic at hand. I'm pretty sure he'a always had THAT gun, WHILE RUNNING TO KEEP UP, just strapped to his body somehow, before swinging it up and around- like WHAT?! He ran all the way here with that GUN dangling in the perfect hidden position?! It puts you in a the moment of "What the fuck is happening- Did he just pull a- Is that gun a- EVERY QUESTION GETS WORSE! (sorry James, been feeling better, love revisiting the old reactions.

TEXTURE! That’s the word I couldn’t come up with to describe how wonderful the cinematography was. It was almost a character all on its own.

This film cost £22million. How did Guy make such a great film for so little? I'd've thought Matthew McConaughey was about half the budget.

I could feel your excitement for this one, made me just as excited!! Love the energy you bring to your videos!!!

The RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies are great from Ritchie too. He's a cracking director, def is a feel to his movies. Subbed

This was a treat! Snatch is must watch...but in the same 'genre' check out Lock, Stock and my favorite Rocknrolla. You'll love them all.

With how few films have been released this year Gentlemen is leading as my favorite and best currently.

Saw this in theaters in January when it came out and was so happy to see Ritchie back in his best form. Snatch and Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was his hay day then he went off script with some duds for awhile, so his return in this one just made me so happy. Highly recommend both of those if you liked this one.

Lock Stock and Snatch are two movies that are British film at their finest

You should 100% react to The Master - a film from Paul Thomas Anderson (same as There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, Punch Drunk Love). It’s his best I think! Also the processing scene during the film is maybe the best scene of the 2010s

I found this movie from a KZread short and I absolutely fell in love with it. The short I seen was when Ray was trying to get the phone from the kid in the ally.

Great Reaction James. By the time I finish my essays on the 18th, I'll have a lot more time to enjoy these videos.

So glad you watched this and thoroughly enjoyed your reaction! It's so great seeing Hugh Grant in a different role. All the characters are well thought out and performed so well. I loved Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnman, Colin Farrell and his boys playing somewhat honourable thugs. Most of Guy Ritchie's films are so good and often quintessentially British. The soundtracks are always fantastic. Snatch is brilliant and I'm so excited to see your reaction to that. If you can I'd also really recommend Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

There were so many good parts, but my favourite low key moment was Raymond's expression when Phuc jumped off the bridge - that 'not again' look as another one falls to his death on Ray's watch is hilarious

“Fuck sake Raymond. You need to start investing in parachutes…who is this jumping fuckboy anyway” 😂😂

Snatch and lock, stock and two smoking barrels, is what put Guy Ritchie on the map.

If you're interested in going back in time a bit then one of my favourite movies is 'Kind hearts and coronets' from 1949. It's a pitch black comedy/drama about a serial murderer in Edwardian England.

Maybe it’s because of nostalgia but while the Gentleman was great snatch is one of the all time greats of cinema to me, very excited to see you react to it!

Loved this movie! Every part of it. And, Charlie Hunnam was just controlled rage.

The second I heard Matthew McConaughey's voice over at the beginning I burst out laughing because it sounded like one of his commercials. You also know he doesn't die at the beginning because the guy behind him pulls out a gun with a silencer on it.

I have the same reaction every time I see Colin Farrell in anything. 🤣 This movie was bomb 💣 🙌🏻👏🏻

Im loving all your videogame comparisons recently, the buck call out was entirely accurate. Also watch Snatch you will absolutely love it

I rewatched this the other day One of those films you can rewatch and rewatch again and again

Movie of the year for me, casting Hugh Grant as a sleazeball was a genius move.

I love the homage to The Long Good Friday towards the end.

This film was so much better than I expected it to be, it was fantastic.

I love it came around the same time that 'Once upon a time in Hollywood', both are different takes of a love letter to cinema itself.

I've rewatched this movie 3 or 4 times and it's one of those great movies that get better with each watch. Guy Ritchie's a master

Snatch is one of my favorite movies ever made. So quotable and rewatchable

I ran across your review looking for something else. I love this filem (to quote the Couch) and seeing your response of it was priceless. Well done. You should tried Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels first, then Snatch, then maybe Revolver (its very weird Guy Ritchie filem) OOO and Rock N Rolla. All of his gansta flicks. Such a great writer, director.

The lighting in the kitchen scene made it feel like a stage play!

I just saw this film yesterday and I thought I'd chime in with a recommendation. The Gentlemen is basically Guy Ritchie doing his version of the classic British gangster flick The Long Good Friday (1980). It's been years since I've seen it and I didn't twig to the similarity until the end of the film when it hits you over the head. The setup (gangster wants to go legitimate) is not particularly unique to TLGF, but the final scene in it IS. And one of the last few scenes of The Gentlemen is a direct homage to it. I'd be surprised if others haven't mentioned it in the comments. Check it out, it's a stone cold classic that launched the careers of Bob Hoskins and Pierce Brosnan.

The look of excitement on your face when Colin Farrell makes his appearance. So delightful. I am intrigued by Matthew McConaughey's character and his relationship with his wife. There is so much I want to learn about both. But the movie only gives us bits and pieces of information. Have you noticed the the little twitches in Charlie Hunnam's performance? They seem to occur when his character, Raymond, is upset or nervous. I love that detail. YES to Snatch.

One of my favourite all time films idk being English I just love it (also goated cast big up bugzy)

I saw it in the movie theatre when it came out. It was an awesome experience. I love it.

hey man, fan from the UK here, If you are interested in more films similar to this then please add these few to your list. Snatch. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. and finally, RocknRolla. Cinematography in these movies are phenomenal and im sure you would appreciate the process behind each one. keep it up my dude!

I remember watching this in the theatre with my pops, going in just expecting an average movie... we left thinking it was damn amazing lmao

You are right I totally recognize that guy from Attack the Block. Need to watch Snatch myself, I’ll have to put that on my list

Loved your reaction dude - your film knowledge makes it. Guessing you’ve done in Bruges.

I thought Hugh Grant’s performance as Fletcher was outstanding, totally different to what we are used to seeing him in....

I absolutely love this movie, I saw it 3 times in theatres

They're making a tv show based on this movie! Same director.

I love the film takes it's time in the beginning to establish these REALLY STRONG characters with many facets- You can't help but be invested in anything else having to do with them. It's a bit like Snatch, in that the various mad characters aren't often on the same side, until a fateful moment in the story that proves more beneficial than anything they've gone after previously. Snatch feels more regimented, with the Boxers, the Gypsies, the Organized Crime, the Pawn Shop Owners - Who could you root for in such a level playfield of these characters who end up the ones tricked, like in the beginning, by just about everyone. I dunno, love how fragmented and separate different story elements feel- I wish he had more time to rehearse with the actors, I dunno.

Guy is amazing. Very well shot movie which he sometimes doesn't get credit for. Love this guy

So happy you enjoyed it!

Has anyone watched this film and taken notes about the fashion? I really loved Charlie’s vests and trenchcoat in this movie. I’ve also gone to my tailor in London and gone for one suit Matthew wears (the one where he shoots the guy under the table) and the other scene with the blue blazer in the restaurant. In terms of smart and casual styling this movie is so on point.

Guy Ritchie has done some great movies. The two sherlock Holmes with RDJ, snatch is unbelievable, lock stock and two smoking barrels, Rock n rolla and now this movie. Guy Ritchie is the man for gangster movies for sure

Great reaction again. Another good Guy Ritchie film is Rock'n'Rolla from 2009, Gerrard Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy to name some of the stars.

Great review/reaction!! If you like this you'll love his first 2 which are classics ... Guy Ritchie typically makes clever, fun, cockney london/brtitish gangster films ... shame you watched this one first as it is probably his weakest but certainly best for a while. Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrells is where it all started .. the follow up Snatch is a classic too & is what most people will prefer as it has the same high quality elements as the first but with more well known actors .. hence the more global appeal ... hopefully you get to watch both of them soon ...

13:00 after the spray shooting, he trained his gun off screen, to his mark, that kid, eye sight semi auto

Love most of Guy Ritchies work I loved this one especially after he hit a bit of a slump. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and RockNRolla are probably his films but I think The Gentlemen definitely deserves a seat at the table as well.

Glad someone else clocked the Russian connection. I remember whispering to my friend “the Russians” near the end and didn’t even know how I figured that out.

yoo how has this movie completely skipped my radar this looks wild 🤩 such a good pick

Hello. New to your channel and have been enjoying it. Since you have both recently watched In Bruges and studying the art of script writing, I highly suggest writer/director Martin McDonough's follow up Seven Psychopaths. Great cast and I saw it as an alagory for the writer's process of creating. He also did the amazing Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri. His brother also writes and directs. I kind of see them as the Irish Coen brothers. From him, I insanely recommend Calvary and The Guard. Enjoy!

Now to more important things: I absolutely thought this film was brilliant and definitely a strong return to true form for Mr Richie. I also feel nostalgic in a way, because this was (almost) the last film I saw in cinema 2020 (it had a February release in Sweden). Well, the last time (it feels rather rock solid to say this now when we're in December and nothing Covid goes the right way anywhere, really) I was in a theatre was for Tenet.

SNATCH you supost to watch when it came out already. immortal classic

The Gentleman does lift a scene from the Long Good Friday, near the end. Bob Hopkins did it better, but the story telling style of the Gentleman pulls me in

Probably my favourite film of the last five years. A hilarious, fast paced, stylistic, well acted crime thriller! Guy Ritchie seems to never misses his shot with his British crime films, there’s always blood and fucking feathers everywhere! 😂
