The Gentlemen streaming: Can you watch FULL movie online? Is it legal?

Guy Ritchie is back with his new film The Gentlemen, which unites megastars Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant, among others. The movie sees an American drug-runner trying to deal with the vultures in the London gang scene after news spreads that he may be trying to get out of the business. As many film fans prefer to catch up with the latest blockbusters at home rather than at the cinema, one big question is on every fans’ lips.

Can you watch the full movie of The Gentlemen online? Is it legal?

Any website claiming to have the film for streaming or download is illegal. 

The Digital Economy Act 2017 means people could now face 10-year prison sentences for illegally streaming copyrighted content.

To be sure you’re not watching copyrighted material, you should go directly to companies such as Netflix or Amazon Prime, according to FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft).

The Gentlemen has not, as many films are, been released simultaneously, meaning it would be available to download at home as well as watch in the cinema.

As a result, this means The Gentleman can not be legally downloaded or streamed at home at this time.

The movie may, in the future, be available to stream on an online platform such as Netflix or Amazon Prime, and may also be available to download from services such as iTunes or Amazon.

However, this will not be for some time, if it does take place, as the movie has only just been released in cinemas and will therefore not be available for home viewing for at least a few months.

Many films take six or so months to go from cinema viewing to home viewing – whether that be via download or through the purchase of a DVD or Blu ray, therefore fans should not expect to be able to download or stream The Gentlemen any time soon.
