Can’t believe that’s hugh grant


Este. Spent the whole trailer trying to figure out who that was and no idea until his name hit the screen.

I hope it’s good. I’m not sure how you top Snatch though. It’s a perfect movie.

Yeah, thought it was Gary Oldman the whole time.

Weird.  The poster I linked has changed over time.  Originally posted that this was a great poster.

Damn the more i think about this movie the more i liked it

I think i need to buy that poster

Pretty much all this.  Hard to figure out what I liked the most.  Hugh Grant being absolutely sleezy was refreshing.  Colin Ferrell might have been my favorite.  All in all a fun flick.

The pig scene, man. The pig scene.

Far more cerebral than I expected. Ritchie has aged pretty well as a director. He still uses his trademark plot devices. But has realized that on occasion less is more. If I criticize anything is they Jeremy Strong has a really dark side. Not exploiting that was a minor mistake.

Most times "cunt" has been spoken in a movie ever?

Well, that should make the wife happy.

Well, all things considered with the "c"word being used quite extensively, we were both entertained and laughed heartily at this movie.  Saw a few leave early but I suspect it might have been their first time to see a Guy Richie movie and not appreciate the story without being offended by the cockney dialogue.  I was most impressed with Hugh Grant's performance not having seen him in anything in several years.  All in all, Guy Richie is still one of my favorite directors and this effort was worth the price of admission.  Like Snatch, I will likely watch it regularly when it hits cable.

saw it last night.  this was the only thing I didn’t like and seemed like a pretty egregious casting error.  after seeing him play a somewhat alpha deep-voiced asshole in the big short I couldn’t deal with his character in this movie.  it was just... odd.

Farrell stole the movie.  Very predictable, but still well done.  Great performances all around.  

Agreed on all.  I said the same about Farrell.

Saw it over the weekend, thought it was great. Kinda was wondering how MM would do in a British gangster film, but he pulled it off quite nicely.

I really want to go see this and I have a question for those of y’all who have.

Are the different UK accents hard to understand?

When I watch British or Irish shows on Netflix or HBO or whatever I have to use closed captioning to catch half of the dialogue.

If the characters are speaking refined BBC English, I’m usually good but when they start in with Mancunian and Geordie and Liverpudlian accents, I’m lost as fuck.

If the accents in this movie are thick I’m gonna wait till it’s streaming so I can use closed captioning.

There are a few different dialects in this film. Older Al missed a few lines. Subtitles would have helped. 
LSATSB and Snatch were better when I was able to have subtitles.

No kidding about this guy. I rewatched the Big Short a week before the Gentleman and I got a little confused by this character.  
Odd indeed, good observation.

You might want to wait. I understood fine, but then again the only one i ever had an issue with was the Pikey accent. Thankfully the DVD came with a Pikey only captions

Interesting point, one that most men I would imagine, might never raise because they'll just rewatch the movie over and pick up bits they missed.....as long as its really worth watching again.  I've noticed most women throughout my life really don't care much about rewatching movies, so this totally makes sense to me.

Snatch is one of my favorite movies...obviously. 

The Gentlemen was weak. The material was weak. The story was fine, but there was no depth. Grant, Farrell, Dockery did the best they could with what they were given. I think most characters were lacking depth. The humor wasn’t there. Feels like Ritchie mailed it in.

He did great.  I imagine him getting involved went something like this:

 

Casting director: "Hey, Matt.  Look we're doing a British gangster movie and we want you to be a lead!  What do you think?"

MM:  "That's cool.  Just give my character an American backstory since I can only do this one accent.  Alright, alright, alright...."

Jeremy Strong is a terrible actor. Great film. I like traditional Ritchie films. Wish we coulda have some Vinnie Jones cameo. 

What was Strong going for? Effeminate drug kingpin? It’s been done and Paul Reubens was much better.

All you had to say was Guy Richie and i was in. Love his films 

 

Me too. Check Mathew Vaughn movies, especially Layer Cake. He was a producer on a lot of Richie's films and a director on Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, and bunch of others. Very similar style and I like most everything he does.

Don’t know, don’t care, he’s terrible in everything he’s in. He almost ruined the movie. 

I don’t know that I’ve seen him in anything else but he was an odd choice here. I don’t know if I’d say he “almost ruined” it but he doesn’t make me want to watch it again (and I otherwise would). Farrell was great as was Dockery.  McConaughey and Hunnam were fine. I actually could have used less Hugh Grant. 
 

And echo the comment above on Layer Cake. If you haven’t seen that, you should
