It's not that the other stuff he's doing is bad ('Swept Away' being an obvious exception), it's just that he is so damn good as this style of movie. Every time I see that Ritchie has made a movie that isn't a crime-thriller I get a little disappointed. It breaks the story up and gives room for creativity in the story-telling process and also humour. ![]() This one is actually told in quite a unique way with a couple of characters going over events that have already happened and it works masterfully. The pacing moves at lightning speed, the dialogue is quick, clever and deeper than you first realise and the conflict is always multi-layered. If you've seen any of Ritchie's previous similar films ('Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Snatch', 'RocknRolla') then you know what I'm talking about. The style this movie possesses is just so much fun to watch. In fact Grant was so good I didn't even recognise his voice and had to wonder if they'd dubbed it. Matthew McConaughey is in his element in a role that he was born to play, Charlie Hunnam plays one of the coolest characters I've seen perfectly, Colin Farrell is hilarious and ridiculously cool as well and then Hugh Grant gives one of the best performances I've ever seen from him. The cast in 'The Gentlemen' is admittedly fantastic, but it doesn't change the fact that they are an absolute treat to watch. There are a few directors around who specialise in this but Ritchie is right near the top. He has an ornate ability to take average actors and make them great, and to take already great actors and get even more out of them. Has there ever been a bad performance in a Guy Ritchie movie? If there has I haven't noticed it.
