Guy Ritchie gets his gangster ya-yas out again in The Gentlemen: Review
his flinty-eyed wife, Rosalind, a woman seemingly born in red lips and stilettos. His business rivals include the louche Chinese gangster Dry Eye and a drab little ferret of a man called Matthew .
Colin Farrell drops in for a perfectly pitched cameo as Coach, a youth-boxing trainer inadvertently caught up in the action, stalwart character actor Eddie Marsan drops in as a ruthless tabloid editor with a long-borne grudge, andaccent, is the hungry paparazzo who sees it all. You may need a flowchart to keep it all straight, and Scotch tape to keep your eyes from rolling back at some of Ritchie’s hoarier takes on race, class, and masculinity; if he’s grown emotionally over the past two decades, it’s invisible to the naked eye.
As Mickey, a sort of Zen-spouting tiger shark in a three-piece suit, McConaughey often slides, seemingly unwittingly, into camp; you almost wish Ritchie had just gone all in and cast Nicolas Cage instead. And Dockery’s shrewd supporting turn aside, women generally get less screen time than the cars and cocktails do. But the movie, for all its retrograde politics and wham-bam machismo, can also be slick, silly fun — a giddy exercise in freewheeling nihilism, played to the hilt.
