No obvious flaws, no big surprises

Very Guy Ritchie's film, very "two-shot", very "snatch". The gangsters in it are exactly what we want them to look like. The gangsters are rendered too beautiful, covering the sky with only one hand, but they are polite, ruthless, but affectionate and righteous. More unfettered than China's rivers and lakes. China's rivers and lakes still need to follow a lot of hypocritical benevolence, be merciful everywhere, and always pay attention to the morality of a gentleman. The main premise of the gangster itself is "black", and there is no need to abide by so many rules and regulations. So it's just one word, more cool!

The first half is fast-paced and requires a lot of concentration to figure out and keep up with the plot of the story. Especially a middle-aged person like me who is particularly insensitive to names, it really took me a lot of effort to figure out who is who, and then I can smooth the relationship and the plot. Of course, after smoothing things out, there will be nothing new in the rivers and lakes. It is nothing more than intrigue, competition for money and profit, grievances and hatreds, plus a little accident. So from this point of view, this movie, this story has nothing to do with it, but it can't get around this old circle and law. The young men who acted as the accident were a bit too unexpected. They were manipulated by others and posted their videos on the Internet. Later, they wanted to retaliate, but their way of "solving the problem" was to rescue Mike. This should be considered an inconspicuous little flaw.

Using the method of storytelling from a single perspective, the narrator is positioned as a screenwriter, and then there are several flipped plots in the plot setting. Finally, in reality, several flips are added to make the story. In the end it was ups and downs. The reporter played by Hugh Grant was really a bit of a surprise. I didn't recognize that this vile philistine, a vile reporter with yellow teeth, would be played by the male god Hugh Grant. And his spirit of digging and making money makes me feel like a business genius. First, he sells information three times, then arranges the time to collect the money, and finally writes the whole story into a script and buys it again. The information that has been hard-earned before has brought into full play its greatest value. This spirit is truly admirable!

    The look and feel is very bad, and there are a few actors that I like very much to no avail. Outdated, vulgar and clever humor can't save this bad story that only pretends to be handsome. Have the ability to find a big star and handsome guy to play the nuisance of pigtails. If you have the ability, don't use stereotypes, homophonic stalks, or death plots to blacken Asian characters.

    The one named Charlie Hannum is too attractive...

The Gentlemen quotes

  • Dry Eye: A gentleman's quote is a gentleman's word.

  • Fletcher: I think the time has come for me to introduce you to our queen. A Cockney Cleopatra to Mickey's cowboy Caesar. The only weak link, in his otherwise impregnable armor, is his devotion, his passion, some would say his obsession, with his beauteous lady wife.
