Read MoreFilm Review: The Gentleman; Visually stunning film tells high-energy, comedic tale
Director Guy Ritchie has an incredibly polarizing portfolio. For every Ritchie-directed subversive crime film like Snatch (2002), he helms a piece of derivative schlock like Aladdin (2019) or King Arthur (2017). Now, like an early unfurling of the new decade’s possibilities, Ritchie appears to be starting a new phase of unique filmmaking with his latest release, The Gentleman.

Read MoreWTF?: “Game of Thrones” is dead, long live “The Witcher”
The beauty of HBO’s iconic, zeitgeist-shaping phenomenon “Game of Thrones” is the way it subverted its audience’s expectations regarding fantasy archetypes and narrative tropes. The show’s greatest subversive act was not killing off Ned Stark in season one, or even season three’s infamous Red Wedding.
