The Gentlemen

‘The Gentlemen’ is a 2020 action/thriller with a blockbuster cast starring Matthew Mcconaughey (Mud, The Lincoln Lawyer), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Henry Golding (Last Christmas), Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), Jeremy Strong (Serenity), Eddie Marsan (Vice), Colin Farrell (The Lobster), and Hugh Grant (Love Actually)

When ‘The Gentlemen was in theaters I went and saw ‘1917’ instead, but now its out on DVD, so I had to catch it. You can’t really tell in the trailers exactly what ‘The Gentlemen’ is about, you just know it’s sort of mafia related. All I know is Matthew Mcconaughey isn’t in a bad film. ‘The Gentlemen’ is very crude with F bombs and C bombs left and right throughout the movie. The way it’s written though, honestly you don’t even notice. It wouldn’t be the same without the language. It’s a two hour movie, but you’re so transfixed to the movie, it flies by. The plot is complex and twist after twist through out in the entire movie. It’s another incredible performance by Mcconaughey and the entire cast is perfect. ‘The Gentlemen’ is a 10/10.

Last Christmas

Last Christmas follows the story of Kate (Emilia Clarke) who works year round as an elf in a store named Santa’s Christmas shop. She recently had a heart transplant and has been in a slump ever since. With no where to turn and her life seeming dismal, she runs into a quirky stranger Tom (Henry Golding) who she quickly falls for.

This is your typical Christmas rom/com where someone isn’t feeling the Christmas spirit, but by the end they are. With that being said though, I really enjoyed this movie. The acting was top notch from Emilia Clarke, and Henry Golding. There is a twist ending, but it is pretty obvious, my wife guessed it. There’s subtle hints throughout the movie, and the song Last Christmas is played throughout, which pretty much gives it away. Even guessing the ending though, it doesn’t spoil the film. ‘Last Christmas’ delivers a heart warming feeling that will get you into the Christmas spirit.
