“The Gentlemen” (** out of four) was an uneven and unwieldy underworld yarn about an American crime lord (Matthew McConaughey) who is looking to sell his marijuana empire but this triggers a series of shootings, backstabbings, and double-crosses from a series of other gangsters (Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, and others) who are trying to steal it from him before he can cash out. Typical Guy Ritchie affair with lots of flash and style but little sense or emotional filling. Matthew McConaughey’s effortless charisma helps keep this watchable for a little while and Hugh Grant is solid in an unusual part as a thug. Whatever; Ritchie told almost the same story to perfection decades ago with “Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch.”
