The Gentlemen cast

American Matthew McConaughey leads a very British all-star cast in Guy Ritchie's sophisticated action comedy The Gentlemen. Looking to cash out of his successful drug business in London, McConaughey instead draws the craven interests of disreputable criminals who want to steal it instead, including Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant.
