I thought _The Gentlemen_ was a nice return to form for Guy Ritchie, so I wonder what happened here. Not only is this very low effort in just about every regard (uninspired visuals, generic score, bad acting, no clever editing, extremely by the numbers characters/story, zero memorable scenes), but it even manages to mess up on what is usually Richie’s biggest strength: the dialogue. During some points of this movie I was reminded of _Bullet Train_ (which was rightfully accused of being a Guy Ritchie rip-off, funny enough), because both movies have these brief moments where characters are acting ‘quirky’, but it feels like these conversations are written by a normie who doesn’t understand what being quirky means. It certainly does not mean acting random and cringy, which is something you’d assume the filmmaker behind _Snatch_ would understand. Are there genuinely people out there who think this is funny? Because I’d argue it gives a lot of Marvel’s recent output a run for its money on the cringe-o-meter. Anyway, this film gains a couple of points for the production value and some ok directorial work (a few of the fight scenes are actually pretty decent), but honestly I’ll be very surprised if I remember any of this within a week.
