What kind of watch this is
The Gentlemen is a 113-minute crime comedy directed by Guy Ritchie. It centers on Michael Pearson, an American expat in London who has built a marijuana empire. The film kicks in when he decides to sell it, triggering a cascade of schemes to steal his operation. The tagline is "Criminal. Class." It is a dry look at high-stakes low lives.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes gives The Gentlemen a 75% approval rating as of August 2026, based on 277 reviews. The average user rating sits lower, at 6.6 out of 10. Metacritic’s metascore is 51, a number that suggests mixed or average reviews. The critics’ consensus notes the film may not win Guy Ritchie many new converts, though it stands tall for those already attuned to his brash wavelength. Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly rated it a B−, calling it a star-stacked callback that comes up short compared to Ritchie’s previous crime films. She described it as defibrillated with enough juice to jolt a gorilla out of cardiac arrest. The voltage is real, if the heart is tired.
How it did with audiences
The production cost $22 million. It collected $115 million at the box office, which makes it a solid return in Hollywood terms. The global tally actually reached $126.2 million, though the core figure stands at $115 million. In the United States and Canada, it opened alongside The Turning, debuting to $10.6 million to finish fourth. It then dropped to $6 million, $4.2 million, and $2.7 million over the next three weekends. On TMDB, users rate it 7.7 out of 10. Audiences seemed to enjoy the chaos enough to keep coming back, at least for a few weeks.
What came next for the cast
Matthew McConaughey traded blockbusters for a single bus ride. Jeremy Strong moved from financial thrillers to a serial killer biography. Charlie Hunnam jumped from alien battles to a serial killer biography. These shifts happen across years and genres, not because of one film. The credits just mark the timeline.
