Theo James and Matthew McConaughey in The Gentlemen (TV show and movie)
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen is a TV adaptation of his own gangster movie from 2019, but it takes a slightly different approach. It isn't a direct adaptation, despite some similarities between The Gentlemen and the original movie. It's an interesting hybrid of a remake and a completely new story. It's still about English aristocrats using their land to farm marijuana, but there are many differences.
Related The Gentlemen Show Cast Guide Despite being set in the same universe as the original Guy Ritchie film, Netflix's The Gentlemen features an entirely new roster of cast & characters. 8 The Movie Has More Exciting Action Guy Ritchie Lets His Signature Style Shine Through Close Neither the movie nor the TV show truly belong in the action genre, but there are moments when the tension erupts into chaos, and the movie has a little more fun with these moments.
Although the movie features a great ensemble cast of characters, it doesn't have enough time to explore many of them in depth. Mickey, Raymond, Fletcher and Dry Eye get some detail, but there are many characters which only appear briefly. Lord George, Phuc, Rosalind, Big Dave and Laura Pressfield are just some of the characters who only exist to serve their function in their plot, but they aren't particularly interesting or deep.
Like with Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, part of the joy of watching a Guy Ritchie gangster movie is seeing all the threads come together in the end. The Gentlemen is no different, as Raymond and Mickey overcome Dry Eye, Matthew and Fletcher all at once. Suddenly, the complex narrative is crystallized succinctly, like the moment when a magician makes their big reveal.
While there are some great moments in The Gentlemen that can only occur because of the movie's unorthodox structure, this same structure also impedes the flow on other occasions. It can just as easily come across as self-congratulatory and unnecessary. By contrast, the Netflix series tends to stick to a more straightforward form of storytelling. There are still a few stylistic flourishes, but the simple structure makes the plot more engrossing.

The Rotten Tomatoes score for The Gentlemen reveals how the new Netflix show compares to Guy Ritichie's original action comedy. 2 The Movie Is More Tense There are moments when the snappy dialogue falls away Close Due to the complexity of the plot, there are times when the next beat is completely unpredictable, and Ritchie toys with his audience to heighten the tension.
