‘The Gentlemen’ Official Trailer

Every since we first saw the poster with a rocks glass filled with whiskey and a gun-shaped ice cube, we knew The Gentlemen was going to be a movie we’d shell out to see in theaters. For starters, the ensemble cast includes: Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant, which is all but guaranteed to be a recipe for success regardless of writer, director and subject matter. It gets better. The Gentlemen is a Guy Ritchie directed film that he also wrote–story props to Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies–about, and we quote, “A very British drug lord trying to sell off his highly profitable empire to a dynasty of Oklahoma billionaires.” There are no indications that it’s tied into the world of Lock, Stock, Snatch and RocknRolla, but even without the tie-in, it’s nice to see Ritchie getting back to his British heist film roots with an amazing cast.
