a5c7b9f00b Juggling some angry Russians, the British Mi5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist, debonair art dealer and part-time rogue Charlie Mortdecai must traverse the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. Juggling angry Russians, the British Mi5, and an international terrorist, debonair art dealer and part-time rogue Charlie Mortdecai races to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain a code that leads to lost gold. I read a few bad reviews and I realized that they are written by people who missed the fun in this movie. Maybe because they are fans of Rogen and Hill humour, I don&#39;t know. This movie is funny, even the humour is a little bit… subtle. Too subtle for some, I suppose.<br/><br/>Does it worth paying 8 euros for a ticket (this is the price for a ticket in my poor eastern European country)? Maybe not. But I never watch the movies immediately after they are released, but much later,you may notice from my so-called review (actually a short comment). So, it was worth the 2 euros what I paid for it.<br/><br/>I gave it 6 stars, which means &quot;worth watching, but only once.&quot; How could a movie with this many good actors be such a stinker!<br/><br/>Johnny Depp should be particularly ashamed, but I guess enough money passed hands for him to not care.<br/><br/>It was excruciating to have to sit through almost 2 hrs of accents the equivalent of fingernails scraping on blackboards and what, just guessing, were supposed to be &#39;jokes&#39;.<br/><br/>This would have been a vehicle for someone of reasonable comedic talent, a modern day Peter Sellers perhaps, but the direction, script and editing were always going to doom this dud.<br/><br/>Avoid at all costs. Those who do find their way into this supremely silly action-mystery caper are in for a few grins if not laughs thanks largely to the deft — and daft — performance of Johnny Depp in the title role.
