The Gentleman is definitely a welcome return to form for Ritchie, who has proven that the meh-ness of his most recent films is more a symptom of the Hollywood studio system rather than a lack of talent on his part. The Gentleman doesn't fit together quite as neatly as Lock, Stock but it has the same propulsive energy, crass yet laugh out loud humor, and stylized violence to satiate die-hard Richie fans. It's by no means a perfect film, but the stuff I liked, I REALLY liked, and the stuff that I didn't care for didn't come close to ruining it for me. That being said, The Gentleman isn't for everyone, particularly for people who aren't fans of Lock, Stock, Snatch, and the like. However, for everyone else looking for a rip-roaring good time at the movies, then grab a beer, put your feet up, and let Guy Ritchie do his thing.
