Hugh Grant is great in this movie no doubt, but for me Colin Farrell is the star of this. Just my preference though. Charlie Hunnam is great too. Fantastic movie
Some days I feel a bit more mellow so you might notice I'm not talking as much in this one. I guess I got absorbed in the movie! Hopefully you don't mind a more quiet watch along with me 😊
You'd LOVE a film called Rock'n'Roller , It's a lot like this film , Also Public Enemies , It's a true story of a 1930s gangster played by Johnny Depp.
@@Tom-uv7ry Yet you purposely clicked on the thumbnail, scrolled through the comments and here you are in the comments section. If it was that bad, you wouldn't even want to be here.
Few fun facts: 1. The "state of the art smokless barbie that keeps your feet warm" is Guy Ritchies design and he sells them 2. The Bar "Lore of the Land" is Ritchies own Pub, he also grows the ingridients for his own beer. 3. Ritchie and Grant are good friends, and his role in this film is a bit of a joke because Grant had huge problems with the tabloids in England and openly despises them.
The final car ride is beautifully memorable of Bob Hoskins contemplating his inevitable end at the climax of The Long Good Friday. I thought this was Mr. Ritchie's best film so far. Mr Grant has never been better, and Coach is a mini highlight from Mr. Farrell. Top work all round.
This is an absolute masterpiece of a film. Guy Ritchie's story telling and character development is on another level. Adding actors that can ramp up the role of any character he wrights up to 200%, coupled with great film and cinema-photography thechnique and a banging soundtrack that is well matched with the films pace. This is what true film making is. This will be forever and always one of my top 5 films of all time. Very well written, shot and executed.
I'm digging the series. It doesn't have the comedic elements as much as this did, but it's pretty solid. I love the religious gangster and Giancarlo Esposito's character.
So pleased to see that you have covered this. Testimony to how good this movie is. I’ve watched this a dozen times & i am watching you react to it. Great job by the way 😊
Love this movie. The whole cast and their characters are great. Michelle Dockery was phenomenal! “There’s no posh part of Croydon” ….being born and raised in Croydon and returned there recently, Coach is spitting facts!
I didn't notice the initial credits. About halfway through the movie, I looked up who played Fletcher and couldn't believe it was Hugh Grant. 100% with you, his transformation was mind-boggling! Great reaction, too. Loved your commentary.
@@chrissiereactsWhoever warned you against it is bat shit crazy, that is one of Ritchie's best, with an incredible cast, and a killer storyline!!!!!!!
I remember the pint & a pickled egg both being served in the pub, nowadays I have to call at chippy (fish & chip shop) for a pickled egg or two (wrapped) then off to local boozer for a pint or 10 😄👍
Can we just take a second to appreciate Chrissie dropping lines from the great Jarvis Cocker, yes everyone hates a tourist. If i could i would give this video extra likes for not only quoting Pulp but in the perfect situation.
Great reaction like alwaus Chrissie, love this movie, Guy Ritchie really is at home with this type of film. He's like a British Tarantino with his dialogue. He has a way of making every side character memorable. Among the star-studded cast of this film, Hugh Grant really stands out with his eccentric character and fun performance. Grant filmed his scenes in just five days with 40 pages of dialogue to cover. Grant had made a cheat sheet to help him learn all the lines, but the night before filming, his car was broken into and the cheat sheet was stolen. One of the more entertaining aspects of the film is the framing of Fletcher's movie pitch to Ray. Fletcher lays out the plot of the movie as if it is a movie he is writing himself. And a fun-fact at the end of the film, Fletcher is seen meeting with a movie executive and pitching the same movie. He presents the script which is title "Bush." That happens to be one of the working titles for this film. Also, behind Fletcher is a poster for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which Ritchie also directed. Keep up with the good work.
5 days is wild! But I guess there aren't too many location changes for his character... but still, what a talent to be able to give such a heavy dialogue performance in such a short amount of time. And nail it! Did the cheat sheets ever resurface? A jackpot for the thieves lol I actually was super confused for the first half trying to figure out if this was a fictional story he was telling or real events 😂 If I ever release an uncut version you can witness the utter confusion haha
@@chrissiereacts unfortunately the cheat sheets never appeared, I love Guy Ritchie’s movies, you should watch more of they always have an amazing story telling, I recommend 'Snatch' and the 'Sherlock Holmes' 2 movies with Robert Downey Jr.
Did you realiise that Michelle Dockery who played Matthew mcconaughey's wife in the movie, was the same that played Lady Mary in Downton Abbey ? The casting for this movie was superb !!
Thank you for an excellent reaction to a very creative film with a great cast of actors and characters. Please keep enjoying yourself and making these excellent videos.
Best reaction by far to this excellent movie! As others have suggested "RocknRolla" is well worth a watch but "In Bruges" is an absolute must see. It was Martin McDonagh's first mainstream film and when I watched it back in '08 I thought 'he should quit right now because he'll never make a better film'. His brother John Michael's first film "The Guard" (2011) is also a low budget little gem. Both brothers lost their way with their 2nd movies IMO but Martin redeemed himself with "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) . Little or no reactions to any of the above and in my opinion they all deserve more coverage.
I discovered your channel by stumbling across Chopper… I wrote that I’d subbed and popped along to see another review. I really love this excellent movie and that you enjoyed it as much as, I’m sure, all of us did. What a great set of characters and captivating storyline. Thanks for a fun reaction 😊
16:47 sadly that is the reality sometimes. Some years ago there was a huge car crash in my city where media and police had to tell the youths to take down snapchat stories and pictures on fb. The parents of the now dead young adults learned that it was their kids who had died via fb and snapchat BEFORE the proper channels like police or ambulance could talk to them. Can you imagine?
If you liked this you would definitely like Rock'n'Rolla as well. Another good watch is Layer Cake with Daniel Craig, not Guy Ritchie but his production crew and plays very similar. Both great watches!!!
If this film had been made by Tarantino they would have been shouting from the rooftops for best director oscars and best actor for Hugh Grant. Its a fantastic film.
Haven’t got time now but I’ll definitely be back for this one! I haven’t seen the last two films you reacted to and I don’t want to self-spoiler. But I’ve seen this a number of times and I am very much looking forward to seeing what you made of it (and some great performances).
@@chrissiereacts I rather suspected you might. Never in a million years did I imagine I would become so evangelical about a Hugh Grant film but after first saw this, I texted EVERYBODY!
Your reactions are GOLD. I would have you over for movie night everytime. Could you do "The Explorers". A bit of fun from my childhood. Has a young River Phoenix
I don't know this movie, but I was JUST thinking moments ago that I wanted to see Jeremy Strong (or another Succession cast member) in another role, to see how they do! And now here you are reacting to such a film! What the.....? 😄 I'm going to watch a little of video and then skip to your closing review as a preview, and if I like it, I'll either watch it later today or put it on my short list. Either way......great to see you!
@@chrissiereacts Wow!!!!! YOU are DEFINITELY someone I'd be interested in seeing your reactions for that show! Super excited to hear that! (Take your time, of course!) Very cool!!!!!
I just subscribed. At the beginning the coca cola, i thought was a 4 loko.. And since i thought you were pouring yourself a 4 loko as an intro . For a moment i was like "i ain't subscribing to this shit" lmao
I so wanted Guy Ritchie to do a crossover film with this and "RocknRolla", but I recently found out what's going on. One of the actors from "RocknRolla" pitched a sequel to that film to Ritchie, but now he's suing Ritchie claiming that Ritchie stole his idea and used it for this film. Particularly the Coach (Colin Farrell) and the guys he mentors.
Hugh Grant is from London so that working class London accent was probably easy to do I'm a South Londoner I can quite easily imitate His posh accent Still his performance Was fantastic
I really enjoy The Gentlemen. Good humor, excellent use of misdirection and unreliable narrator, along with a great soundtrack. If you haven't seen them, Guy Ritchie's movies with Henry Cavill are both very good - The Man From UNCLE and Ministry Of Ungentlemently Warfare
So one of the actors in the film Bugzy malone he actually broke people's jaw in real life when they tried to break into his house. Its all on video too.
No it’s not his pub, just his glass with Lore of the Land written on it. The pub the scenes where Micky is almost killed in is called The Princess Victoria in Shepherd’s Bush. I should know, it’s at the top of my road..
Hugh Grant's performance in this film is his absolute best in my opinion.
He was good in Paddington 2 too.
Such a great performance
Star of the film for me.
Hugh Grant is great in this movie no doubt, but for me Colin Farrell is the star of this. Just my preference though. Charlie Hunnam is great too. Fantastic movie
And it gives the finger to the smut press that has been so hard on him.
It's amazing

@@richardbeaton7324 Just was about to say the same thing. Very underappreciated.
you me both i enjoy a good movie , oyu do not hear me talk while watching as i am focused , great movie watched it so many times.
Reacting to a film doesn't mean talking incessantly throughout it. A lot of reactors can learn from you.
Too many think they have to "react".
The Gentlemen is Guy Ritchie's homage to the excellent 1980 film, The Long Good Friday. Everyone should check it out.
@@Tom-uv7ry Yet you purposely clicked on the thumbnail, scrolled through the comments and here you are in the comments section. If it was that bad, you wouldn't even want to be here.
Yup homage to Long Good Friday Matt McC copying Bob Hoskin's reaction when facing imminent death hijacked in back of cab
@@johnm9845 So cool you noticed that.
The quality of production of this movie just astounds me.
I noticed that too! It LOOKS so good.
Snatch is another Guy Ritchie Masterpiece.
Rock and rolla
She mentions it at the end
As is Lock Stock ;)
I think the Sherlocks are Ritchie at his best too.
snatch and lock stock are his very ancient ones, I 'd say his later work is much better.
I love the way Hugh Grant describes dry eyes’ race…..Japanese, Chinese, Pekingese, Get on ur f****n knees….😂W delivery 😂
@36:45 Writers - Guy Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson, Marn Davies.
I Thought Hugh Grant should of got an Oscar for that part
Grant should have got an Oscar for the Physical Comedy involved in that hedge jump........ just perfectly matches the character's traits.....
When the lions hungry? HE EATS! - kickass line and delivered perfectly.
and "there's fuckery afoot!"
Guy Ritchie back at his absolute best. So many great characters, with amazing storytelling. His use of Hugh & Colin, absolutely tip top!
Few fun facts:
1. The "state of the art smokless barbie that keeps your feet warm" is Guy Ritchies design and he sells them
2. The Bar "Lore of the Land" is Ritchies own Pub, he also grows the ingridients for his own beer.
3. Ritchie and Grant are good friends, and his role in this film is a bit of a joke because Grant had huge problems with the tabloids in England and openly despises them.
Hugh Grant is a highly underrated actor, who has reinvented himself recently to prove how good his range is.
I was

11:40 took me a while to realize you said “vinegar” haha
Great film. The Netflix series is also fairly good. Not if the same calibre but still an entertaining binge watch!
I'm digging the series. It doesn't have the comedic elements as much as this did, but it's pretty solid. I love the religious gangster and Giancarlo Esposito's character.
So pleased to see that you have covered this. Testimony to how good this movie is. I’ve watched this a dozen times & i am watching you react to it. Great job by the way 😊
It's hard to go wrong with Guy Ritchie.
Cant be said about his recent movies. But I agree with the statement pre 2020.
Love this movie. The whole cast and their characters are great. Michelle Dockery was phenomenal! “There’s no posh part of Croydon” ….being born and raised in Croydon and returned there recently, Coach is spitting facts!
Hugh Grant was phenominal in this film he seriously owned that role.
I didn't notice the initial credits. About halfway through the movie, I looked up who played Fletcher and couldn't believe it was Hugh Grant. 100% with you, his transformation was mind-boggling!
Great reaction, too. Loved your commentary.
The Mr. Hands quote really got me
Underrated film in my opinion. Guy Richie got a good style to his films
It's so weird seeing in the opening scene, Matthew McConaughey in my local pub lol (Princess Victoria), they do a bangin scotch egg 😆
That's your local?? Very cool.
Thank you for not censoring the language.
Guy Ritchie is one of my favourite directors. Love his films.
The girl who plays Laura really does look like her dad, doesn't she (Sting)
Probably my favourite movie of the past decade. Thank you for posting.
Oh I didn't even realise! But yeah, now that you mention it... it's cool Sting was in Lock Stock and here we come full circle 20 years later 😊
Hello there! Oh I love Guy Ritchie movies! Look at Hugh Grant was enormously good at this!
Such a great film. Rock n rolla is another thats worth a watch too!
I've heard mixed reviews on that one. Some people warn me against it, others love it!
@@chrissiereacts It's a great film.
@@chrissiereacts I enjoyed it. It's his early work, so it's not as smooth as his later stuff, but it's still a winner.
Yeah def worth a watch, and brilliant cast too..

30:04 I remember laughing non stop first time watching.
Great reaction, just watched it again, I also loved your reaction to chopper, not really seen anyone react to that 🙂🏴
For homework Hugh Grant spoke to some paparazzi (some bugged his phone once) and based his character and sleazy accent on them.
Guy Ritchie versions of Sherlock Holmes? Steampunker.
The McDonald Farm "EI EI O" song on the Creative Expression Video is the BEST!
Thank you for an excellent reaction to a very creative film with a great cast of actors and characters. Please keep enjoying yourself and making these excellent videos.
Best reaction by far to this excellent movie!

Same thing man. Definitely a tangent from the usual YT content I watch. The Chopper review was quite good, visceral and innocent, I liked it.
rock n rolla is the one!

Damn I really like this movie!
I really think you'll like Rock'n'rolla, another great (and underrated) Guy Ritchie movie.
Really enjoying your Channel Chrissie.
This. Fucking. Movie. Ugh! It's so good!
Guy Ritchie can transform actors into new roles , just take a look at what he does to Henry Caville in one of his latest films
If you liked this you would definitely like Rock'n'Rolla as well. Another good watch is Layer Cake with Daniel Craig, not Guy Ritchie but his production crew and plays very similar. Both great watches!!!
If this film had been made by Tarantino they would have been shouting from the rooftops for best director oscars and best actor for Hugh Grant. Its a fantastic film.
I really enjoy your videos…your empathy is inspiring
You'd absolutely love Rock n Rolla, I think it's one of Ritchie's best and the cast is stacked, the story is incredible, check it out!!! 👍
Loved the "Pulp - Common People" reference, so true.
Wow loved the Common People Quote awesome
Guy Ritchie is a brilliant director, never watched a movie from him and thought it was bad
I fking love that lion line... The only rule to the jungle is, when the lions hungry.....HE EATS.
One of my favorite movies

Yes, Hugh Grant not acting like Hugh Grant is awesome 😎 in this.
Recent TV series (by the same name) is very good too.
🇬🇧 great film, great rection 😉👍🏻
Hugh Grant, same voice in the movie 'operation fortune'.

Who? I really liked RocknRolla.
@@NinkyNonk30 Mickey De Hara. He was Turbo in "RocknRolla".
He didn't change his accent that much, just made it grittier and more cockney
As opposed to?.. I mean you're literally describing what changing an accent entails.
Hugh Grant is from London so that working class London accent was probably easy to do
I'm a South Londoner
I can quite easily imitate
His posh accent
Still his performance
Was fantastic
Fun movie. Great reaction. I like you. Subbed
This film is great. The reaction is great.
Trivia:
Weed is a 1/3rd the price in the UK than 30 years ago ;-)
Might one humbly suggest "See no evil, hear no evil" starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
That sounds like fun! I'll add it to my list :)
I really enjoy The Gentlemen. Good humor, excellent use of misdirection and unreliable narrator, along with a great soundtrack.
If you haven't seen them, Guy Ritchie's movies with Henry Cavill are both very good - The Man From UNCLE and Ministry Of Ungentlemently Warfare
Also by Guy Ritchie: Snatch, Rock n Rolla both in this mode
such a great movie, the TV show is also very goood
This is a bit like the 1980 British gangster film 'The Long Good Friday'.
Pulp - Common People ❤
when you mentioned pulps common people i subscribed
I discovered this movie from clips on tiktok a few months ago then i just had to watch it
Hasn't been a better movie since. A rollicking good time.
The recent Netflix series is fun too.
Colin Farrell is the gun in this movie!!
This was my favourite GRitchie film
The Red Riding trilogy beginning with Red Riding 1974 puts this gangster stuff in the kidding end of the pool
So one of the actors in the film Bugzy malone he actually broke people's jaw in real life when they tried to break into his house. Its all on video too.
well, i was expecting a Mr Hands reference today.
Need invest n parachutes👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Guy Ritchies pub. The Lore of the Land.
No it’s not his pub, just his glass with Lore of the Land written on it. The pub the scenes where Micky is almost killed in is called The Princess Victoria in Shepherd’s Bush. I should know, it’s at the top of my road..
Like your Gustav Klimt.😀
I have to say this.
This has to be the prettiest lady I have ever laid my eyes on.
Great film.
The new one is also good..the spin off 😊
you made a most excellent move watching this flick. kitty is most pleased 😺😺
😸😸
You should check out Green Street Hooligans. Great movie
I was just waiting for the Coach
