All Guy Ritchie Movies Ranked by Tomatometer (3)

Who had a more explosive directorial debut in the rollicking, post-Pulp Fiction ’90s than Guy Ritchie with his Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels? The stylish, gritty descent into the criminal underworld rocked both sides of the Atlantic, which then gave Ritchie the opportunity to give his style an even slicker, international sheen with Snatch.

So synonymous is Ritchie with this style and subject matter that no matter where his career takes him, whenever he returns to this topic it’s always celebrated as a back-to-basics comeback. RocknRolla, for example, helped sweep away the sour tastes of Swept Away and Revolver.

And now The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man have arrived as counterpoint to the blockbuster bombast of Aladdin and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. (Though certainly Sherlock Holmes and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. found a happy, kinetic medium between these two extremes.) The Covenant, became his highest-rated movie in 2023. —Alex Vo

The Gentlemen (2019) 75%

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) 75%

#4

Snatch (2000) 74%

#4

Starring: Benicio del Toro, Dennis Farina, Brad Pitt, Vinnie Jones

#5

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) 70%

#5

Adjusted Score: 79341%

Critics Consensus: Cranking up a true story of derring-do into a high-octane action flick that's heavy on spectacle if not suspense, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is another solid entry into Guy Ritchie's pantheon.

Starring: Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Cary Elwes, Henry Golding

#6

Sherlock Holmes (2009) 70%

#6

Adjusted Score: 80038%

Critics Consensus: Guy Ritchie's directorial style might not be quite the best fit for an update on the legendary detective, but Sherlock Holmes benefits from the elementary appeal of a strong performance by Robert Downey, Jr.

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#7

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) 68%

#7

Adjusted Score: 82248%

Critics Consensus: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. tries to distract from an unremarkable story with charismatic stars and fizzy set pieces, adding up to an uneven action thriller with just enough style to overcome its lack of substance.

Starring: Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#8

#9

RocknRolla (2008) 60%

#9

Adjusted Score: 65609%

Critics Consensus: Mixed reviews for Guy Ritchie's return to his London-based co*ckney wideboy gangster movie roots, but most agree, it's a step in the right direction following two major turkeys.

Starring: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandiwe Newton, Mark Strong

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#10

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) 60%

#10

Adjusted Score: 69145%

Critics Consensus: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a good yarn thanks to its well-matched leading men but overall stumbles duplicating the well-oiled thrills of the original.

Synopsis: When Austria's crown prince is found dead, evidence seems to point to suicide. However, detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.)... [More]

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Rachel McAdams

#11

Aladdin (2019) 57%

#11

Adjusted Score: 77585%

Starring: Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#12

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023) 51%

#12

Starring: Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett, Cary Elwes

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#13

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) 31%

#13

Adjusted Score: 46215%

Critics Consensus: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword piles mounds of modern action flash on an age-old tale -- and wipes out much of what made it a classic story in the first place.

Synopsis: After the murder of his father, young Arthur's power-hungry uncle Vortigern seizes control of the crown. Robbed of his birthright,... [More]

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#14

Revolver (2005) 15%

#14

Adjusted Score: 16831%

Critics Consensus: In attempting to meld his successful previous formulas with philosophical musings, Guy Ritchie has produced an incoherent misfire.

Synopsis: Jake Green is a hotshot gambler, long on audacity and short on common sense. Jake served seven years in jail... [More]

Starring: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Vincent Pastore, André Benjamin

Directed By: Guy Ritchie


#15

Swept Away (2002) 6%

#15
