New to theaters: McConaughey pairs with popular British actress Dockery in 'The Gentlemen'

According the production company, the film follows American expat Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey, “Dallas Buyers Club” and “Magic Mike”) who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London.

When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever, it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.

Other cast members include: Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey” and “Anna Karenina”), Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy” and “Pacific Rim”), Colin Farrell (“The Lobster” and “In Bruges”), Henry Golding (“Crazy Rich Asians” and “A Simple Favor”) and Hugh Grant (“Love Actually” and “Notting Hill”).

Critics on the Rotten Tomatoes website seem to show more love than hate with the film garnering a score of 75 percent on the website’s Tomatometer.

Top Critic Sandra Hall with the “Sydney Morning Herald” said, “The film is a triumphant return to home base for Ritchie. It’s his wit which energizes the film and shapes the characters, with a lot of help from his actors.”

However Top Critic Hannah Woodhead with “Little White Lies” did not appreciate the premise of the film, saying, “It’s very clear that there are heroes and villains in this story, and the heroes are the white gangsters.”

The film is rated R for violence, language throughout, sexual references and drug content.
