Movies that feel likeThe Gentlemen (2020)

American expat Mickey Pearson has built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.

If you loved The Gentlemen, the closest films we have are Adam's Apples (2005), No Other Choice (2025) and Raising Arizona (1987). All three share The Gentlemen's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is In China They Eat Dogs (1999).
