I saw this today, and agree that it was excellent. It was Colin Farrell's best role since In Bruges, and surprising to find Hugh Grant stepping outside the fluff zone.

The Gentlemen has some of the same elements as Get Shorty - a lot of tuffs - tough guys - trying to establish dominance, and in both, there is a movie within a movie. There is a lot more fuckery in The Gentlemen, though.

The Gentlemen is solid work, but not quite Best Picture, is it, Joel? *
