The Gentlemen


Everyone looks great in The Gentlemen, and everyone's very, very rich. So why isn't this any fun? 

And I love a crime film, but, well, this is no fun at all. Charlie Hunnam has a great scene or two, and Colin Farrell steals every second he's onscreen. I liked Bugzy Malone, too. 

But mostly I just didn't even smile. The Gentlemen just isn't enjoyable. The entire thing is told in flashback, for reasons I don't really understand. Everyone's throwing money around, but there's just no fun.
