If The Gentlemen hit the spot, these will too
Swaggering banter under gunfire, with a crime plot played for grins
The difference: A Hollywood in-joke about Cage himself, not a real underworld
Deadpan criminal chaos where one bad decision spirals into carnage
The difference: Scrappy Danish cult film — none of Ritchie's polish or star power
Gangland power as a bitter running joke, told with real brutality
The difference: The laughs curdle — cartel Mexico is far bleaker than gangster London
Ritchie's interlocking London hustlers all chasing one glittering prize
The difference: Rougher and faster — small-time chancers, not empire-level power plays
Where the Ritchie formula started: schemes stacked until they collapse
The difference: Lo-fi lads in debt rather than kingpins — scrappier and less sleek
Flippant violence and crime bosses squabbling over a stolen diamond
The difference: Comic-book gloss — cartoon mayhem instead of gangland maneuvering
A dark comedy about protecting your position by any means necessary
The difference: Desperation, not swagger — Park's satire cuts much closer to the bone
Pitch-black deadpan where violence and comedy share every scene
The difference: A small parable about faith — no heists, no empire, no glamour
Both are built on the same subject: dark comedy
The difference: Trades the wit of The Gentlemen for an angle of its own
The same preoccupation in both: robbery
The difference: Takes it somewhere less kinetic than The Gentlemen does
Common ground: dark comedy
The difference: 29 years apart, and the 1990s show
Deadpan cruelty and grotesque punchlines delivered totally straight
The difference: A strange Danish family fable — no gangsters, no cool whatsoever
