The Gentlemen review: Posh twits, gangsters, shotguns... Guy Ritchie's crime comedy is a blast, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: All Ritchie's hallmarks are here: shotguns, hard men with Kray Twin accents, briefcases full of cash, negotiations in Mayfair clubs and drunk fights
Not only is there Freddy's multi-million pound debt to a Scouse coke baron, but a marijuana factory is thriving in the grounds, and Giancarlo Esposito (who played drug smuggler Gus Fring in Breaking Bad) is turning the thumbscrews in his bid to buy the ducal mansion. By the time Freddy has bet the family's entire liquid assets on Joey Bang-Bang in an illegal boxing match fixed by Sticky Pete, Eddie is starting to regard peacekeeping duties in the Middle East as a paid holiday. All Ritchie's hallmarks are here: shotguns, hard men with Kray Twin accents, briefcases full of cash, negotiations in Mayfair clubs, punch-drunk fighters in back-room bouts, and so much champagne and coke that even Keith Richards might wonder if things are getting out of hand.
