Short description
Mickey Pearson, an American living in London, has spent years building a profitable marijuana operation, growing his product on the estates of struggling English aristocrats and shipping it across Europe. When he decides to sell the business and retire, word of his plan spreads through the city's criminal underworld. Rival operators, a wealthy buyer from Oklahoma and various interested parties begin manoeuvring to claim the empire for themselves, using bribery, blackmail and deception. Ray, Mickey's trusted right-hand man, works to shield his boss from the fallout, while a journalist arrives with a screenplay that lays out the boss's crimes. Mickey's wife Rosalind also figures in his plans for a quieter life.
Guy Ritchie directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Lauren Bond, and produced alongside Matthew McConaughey and Bill Block. It is the tenth of the nineteen films he has directed, following King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and preceding Aladdin. McConaughey plays Michael Pearson, with Charlie Hunnam as Ray, Michelle Dockery as Rosalind, Jeremy Strong as Matthew, Lyne Renee as Jackie and Colin Farrell as Coach. The film cost 22 million dollars and took 115 million worldwide, a strong return on its budget. On IMDb it holds 7.8 from 454,000 votes, and on TMDB 7.7 from 6,892 votes, while its critics' rating stands at 6.6 from 278 reviews, so audiences have rated it more warmly than critics.
What's left behind the scenes
- When Michael returns to the pub, the audience sees a van outside with the inscription Gritchie Brewery. A brewing company with that name is owned by the film's director, Guy Ritchie.
- When Ray runs into an alleyway chasing a man with a phone, he pulls a machine gun from under his coat. After the phone is obtained, he lets the machine gun drop, and the barrel (silencer) of the gun is visible from under his coat. However, in all the previous shots of the chase, it is clear that Ray has nothing under his coat.
- At the beginning of the film, Rosalind Pearson (Michelle Dockery) enters a garage wearing shoes with red soles, but in the office, her shoes are seen to have light-colored soles.
