The Gentlemen

Starring Hugh Grant, golden boy from Uvalde, TX: Matthew McConaughey and host of others. The bitchy sister from Downton Abbey, as a cockney wench?

Predictable, perfectly timed, well-starred, excellent acting, just a romp of good, bad violence, starts in medias res, don’t miss the opening segment, as that sets a definite tone, and it only gets better. Hugh Grant was stunningly amusing as a sodden Brit., and the rest is all good fun. Honor among thieves? Penchant for over-the-top, graphic violence? Set against the similar scenery from Downton Abbey?

Just plain good, fun. Brilliant bit of story-telling, story within a story. Sort of an “also ran” in terms of movies this week, but really a delightful piece of entertainment.

Good movie, made even better by showing up at the Alamo Drafthouse and watching their trailers before the show started. Beach Bum Matthew explained that texting a talking, phones in general, we, like, not cool during the show.

“Put it in your fanny pack and zip it.”

Excellent escapist film. Did I mention Mercury was almost retrograde yet?
