The Gentlemen trailer sees the return of Guy Ritchie to his gritty gangster roots

After the flop that was King Arthur, it looks like Guy Ritchie is moving away from Hollywood blockbusters and returning to his roots in old-school gangster films. The director of classics such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and Revolver, has just released The Gentlemen, starring Hugh Grant, Charlie Hunnam, Matthew McConaughey and Jeremy Strong. The film oozes cool and delivers all the gangster tropes that we’re all familiar with. Guy Ritchie has always been a director who understood the seediness of the London underworld better than most and his films reflect exactly that. 

The Gentlemen tells the story of an American ex-pat, living in London, looking to sell off his incredibly lucrative marijuana business. This, obviously does not go as planned and thus begins a cycle of betrayal, back-stabbing, cheating and every other vile thing you can think of. From what we can see in the trailer, we’re in for a real thrill-ride as Ritchie takes us through the world of London’s gangsters and their illegal dealings. 

The stellar star cast is another reason you should check this film out. The pairing of Hugh Grant, Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell makes this film a must-watch. The Gentlemen is out in theatres right now. Check out the trailer below.
