Critics Consensus

It may not win writer-director Guy Ritchie many new converts, but for those already attuned to the filmmaker's brash wavelength, The Gentlemen stands tall.

The MTV-style editing feels passé, its humor smug and fratty.

For all its energy and vulgarity, The Gentlemen is a slog, a tedious and unnecessarily unpleasant tour of ground that Ritchie's already covered.

Telegraphing dialogue, Tarantino-speak tributes, and a third act plot logjam are tantamount to bringing ants to the picnic, but there's enough repellent on board so as not to bother or distract too much.

...for the first time, Guy Ritchie has convincingly evoked several different echelons in the class system...The Gentlemen is a mature, amusing, deftly plotted and politically subversive film that has the narrative nous to have its cake and eat it....

5/5

This is a true cinema tour de force that delivers a headbutt to the face of its audience. It leaves in shock, it leaves you in awe but beyond all else this is a film that you will want to watch over and over again.

4/5

a clever, compelling, absolutely insane crime drama whose incredibly appealing visuals match its complex characterisation and intriguing plot.

A hell of a lot of fun. This was the last film I saw before the start of the plague.

Well acted with a stellar cast and an occasionally confusing storyline. Deserves the R rating.

The dialogue was great, except the narrative storytelling carried on for too long.
