Sometimes you can go home again. Guy Ritchie once again
drops a film in his signature genre, the British gangster film, with a lot of
his signature style and dialogue. Different now is the pace, no longer the
breakneck sprint of Snatch, The Gentlemen has the intentional pace of a
more tenured filmmaker, confidant enough in his story to let it breathe. Tying
into the story as well, there is the idea of growing older and balancing modernization
with maintaining what has worked until now. In its way, this is really good and
leads to a pretty enjoyable movie overall, though not everything in this
situation has aged especially well, unfortunately.
