Cinema Cindy Reviews: ‘The Gentlemen’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“The Gentlemen” is the kind of crime caper where the audience is made to root for one criminal over another. There are many intriguing characters, whose roles soon become clear.
Their dialogue is fast and witty, though the F-word and C-word are used liberally. Twists and turns in the action will keep you glued to your seat. And, although there is obligatory violence, including execution by gun, the audience is not subjected to too much blood, and no gore.
Note: nearly all the characters are men, presumably because men are the most likely to run drug empires.
All that Read More
