They should've left even 'Five Eyes' as the title. The new one is too long, too cumbersome, and definitely too unreadable for most. When I came across the trailer yesterday, I thought it was some kind of European, localised French title.

Also, I'm very excited for anything from Guy Ritchie, and the cast is great, but seems like a a bit too much going on in the movie, hopefully it won't detract from what I believe makes it a Guy Ritchie film. Gentlemen was that, more in vein of Snatch, etc. Cash Truck wasn't.
Hopefully this will be closer to my favorite of his, Revolver.
 
Wow, it's already been a year!
I heard it was pulled back like this because the story deals with some Ukrainian bad guys or terrorists, which suddenly became 'not kosher' anymore.
Well, now it's slated to come out in Ukrainian bombing Russian theaters on January 5th. I wonder if they managed to edit the bad guys into 'someone else'.
 
This movie opened a couple of months ago in Russia, go figure, but dubbed version only, so I didn't watch it.
Cannot wait for it ever since the delay, wondering how much was cut or changed, and if those scenes will ever see the light of day, so to say, as extras on disc.
 
Was waiting to see this for over a year, with all the delays. The Ukrainian terrorists stayed in the picture, so I don't know what all the fuss and rumors were about.
Anyway, the film is good, especially the latter half, but most of the scenes are missing some kind of cool energy and montage that earlier Guy Ritchie films had, as well as nicely picked music. There's one song here, but it sucks.
Were it not for Aubrey Plaza and Hugh Grant, who are easily the best here, saving the picture, and maybe Josh Hartnett, who's playing almost himself in a second movie this year already (the other being Die Hart), it could've been written as a failure.
