Here.  Here's a guy flick. 

Guy Ritchie.  

Called The Gentlemen.  



Can I get a ftw?

Good o'l Guy. He always aims to please, aims with a bullet straight between the eyes and a cockney snarky comment to boot. Great cast - McConaughey, Hunnam, Farrell, Wu, Golding, Grant (in an exceptional role), and Downton factor 1 with the ever lovely Michelle Dockery. I don't think I've ever seen a flick that says 'cunt' as much as this one. 

It's a UK gangster tale - a pot grower kingpin is looking to retire and sell off his empire - ultravi ensues. There's a tong element. It's fun in that Ritchie way. 

I enjoy hearing Michelle talk dirty, even it this film totally fails the Bechdel test - it's Richie after all (Kate Beckinsale was originally cast for this part and despite getting addicted to her cat vid grams - thanks Greg - Michelle brings something new to the moll role where I think Kate would have delivered the same ol' gangster arm candy caricature). 

Tasty double crossing in that gangster way. That deliciously droll Brit humor and lyrical use of profanity ('melt' does get uttered in one of the minor streams of curses). I smirked a lot. Reminded me of Tarantino but with an English lilt bordering (or poaching) Shakespeare.

No sword fights but some rachets. Absolutely DOOM recommended.
