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.

Charles Bramesco

Inside Hook

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

The Atlantic

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

Scott Marks

San Diego Reader

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.

Subculture Entertainment

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.

Rated: 5/5

The dialogue, acting, and story pacing evoke the kind of irreverent, playful attitude that invites enjoyment. Even if, once the cloud of smoke dissipates, we find there's nothing behind it. [Full review in Spanish]

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

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