There are not many directors who debut at the peak, and Guy Richie is definitely one.
In 1998, he became a hit with his debut film Two Smoking Guns, which paid £28 million for an investment of £1.6 million.
Two years later, he continued his personal style to make "Kidnapping and Robbery", which was once again a great success, setting the highest box office record for a British film and becoming the highest-grossing film at the time.
Through these two films, he redefined crime films and brought more possibilities for genre films.
At the same time, his distinct personal style has also set off a wave of fanatical imitation around the world.
Multi-line storytelling, quick editing, black humor, rock scores, and a multitude of characters— familiar "gait" elements have since appeared in other films.
For example, director Ning Hao in China paid tribute to Guy Richie in his early years and made two movies, "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing".
After the two works were filmed, Guy Richie went to Hollywood and began an 8-year marriage with Madonna.
The dog-blood marriage has consumed his talent to a certain extent, making him gradually fall silent.
In the meantime, he experienced the box office failure of "The Great Enemy" and the mixed reputation of "Revolver".
It wasn't until the advent of the "Sherlock Holmes" series that it finally brought an inflection point to his career.
Sherlock Holmes
Guy Richie, who is in Hollywood, has always been a typical unstable player.
In 2017, he made "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts," cost Warner more than $100 million.
As a result, last year, he sold himself to Disney to direct the live-action version of "Aladdin", which made Disney a lot of money - "Aladdin" broke $1 billion at the global box office.
After the box office profit, he joined the "$1 billion club", regained the initiative to make films, and made a movie that he really wanted to make.
The Gentlemen
"Gentlemen" is a British crime film.
The last time Guy Ritchie made a crime movie, it was back in 2008's Rock 'n' Roll Gangster.
Returning to the familiar territory again, can he still sword not grow old?
The eye-catching ratings give the answer directly -
Douban scored 8.3, better than 92% of comedies and 92% of gangster films.
The ratings are second only to "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Stealing and Kidnapping", ranking third in Gehrig's directorial career.
Big names, black humor, layers of reversals... Still the original recipe, or the taste of "cover style"!
After watching "Gentlemen", people can't help but be pleasantly surprised to find that the guy Richie who used to be is really back!
Through the title "Gentlemen", it is not difficult to guess that this must be another uncompromising man's play.
Guy Ritchie, who has always liked to build group portraits, has gathered a group of powerful male stars this time and contributed one wonderful group drama after another.
Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hannum, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, each with a single name, are the familiar faces of the well-known stars.
Only Michelle Dockery, who played "Big Miss" in "Downton Abbey", is a little red in the evergreen bush, with a distinct female feature, neutralizing the male hormones in the film.
However, Guy Ritchie, who gathered a large number of stars, did not let them have a serious acting, but let them have unlimited emotions and collective hi-
The story told in "Gentlemen" is actually not complicated.
