I had an uneasy feeling that the best parts of this movie were in the trailer.….it doesn't even come close. I an a fan of Guy Ritchie movies but this one was extra special. At first I thought it started a little slowly but in hindsight it was just right. It was a perfect execution of a classic British gangster film brought to life by a host of great actors.

I can truly say that The Gentlemen is a wildly entertaining film with a fast paced, enjoyable story that keeps you guessing throughout. Worth the price of admission at the theater.
