Review of A Gentleman (2017) by Xamor_Xelsius — 22 Jun 2021

Good, but it could've been great. A Gentleman is an action-thriller spy movie, more like James Bond. However, I would most likely like to compare it to kingsman, as just like Gentleman, it subverts the cliches of spy films, even if not successful.

The movie keeps its plot short and straightforward, "Gaurav is in love with Kavya, but she wants him to be more of a risk-taker. When Rishi, his counterpart, enters his life, the boundaries between the lives of the two men start to blur." However, no matter how much milked the plot may be, Raj and D.K. have told it in their own quirky and clever ways through its commendable screenplays and dialogues.

Siddarth is also "susheel" in his role, and Jacqueline is also suitable as a typical Bond girl with some steamy scenes. Action scenes are now the high-point of this movie, as don't underestimate their adrenaline-rush factor.

However, Raj and D.k. have gone too far to trick the audiences by digging some plot holes. Despite setting a brilliant introduction, it falls apart quickly, relying on the same cliches it was trying to subvert.
