Will this be more pedestrian MCU mediocrity or will there be some creative surprises? Another remake. Yawn. This time of Swedish comedy FORCE MAJEURE from 2014: It is actor Jeremy Renner’s birthday. His top 5 films:
- MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION - THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD - THE AVENGERS - THE TOWN - WIND RIVER Out to own today: Animals
THE GENTLEMEN ★★★☆☆
D: Guy Ritchie (Aladdin, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Sherlock Holmes, RocknRolla, Revolver, Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). S: Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, Michelle Dockery, Henry Golding, Jeremy Strong, Hugh Grant. A movie that causes self-analysis: Why do I feel entertained by this? If only director Guy Ritchie had something insightful to say about modern Britain, it would elevate his brand of rollicking (but instantly forgettable) gangster shtick. (By the way, I want so many items from the characters’ wardrobes, especially Matthew McConaughey and Charlie Hunnam’s.) Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!
