GENTLEMEN

CRIMINAL CLASS

 

THE GENTLEMEN (2019)
3 SPUDS on Netflix

One of the things you have to be prepared for

when you watch a Guy Ritchie movie is getting

smacked in the face with it. This is high octane

storytelling and moviemaking at just about the
highest level that can be achieved, and all with-
out the aid of special effects.

It's essentially the story of a big time marijuana
grower and dealer (Matthew McConaughey) who
is trying to sell of his business to someone re-
spectible who can become a prime supplier to the
legal marijuana business, which he can’t because
he simply doesn’t have the pedigree to make the
deals that need to be made to do that.

What transpires is an extremely intricate pas-
tiche of plots, schemes, double-crossing and other
forms of skullduggery moving along at such
a clip that when you get to the end you can't
believe that two hours have passed.

Superbly written, acted, directed and paced
from top to bottom, this movie never really lets
up. It's a hell of a lot of fun and | freakin’ loved it.
