This photo does not do this movie justice - at all. But then, nor does the movie review. Reviews like this make a movie a ‘must see.’ The movie, Mortdecai, is in fact a ‘must see’ - but only if you enjoy laughing out loud and having a good time.
Johnny Depp, in the role of Charlie Mortdecai, is an art dealer…dapper and not exactly honest, but he has a lovely moustache. He and his glamorous wife Johanna, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, live in an enormous mansion in the English countryside. Charlie is commissioned, (actually arm twisted), by Inspector Martland to find the painting in return for enormous tax debts. The Inspector, an old school chum, is also in love with Johanna. Jock, played by Paul Bettany, is Charlie’s manservant, always at the ready to protect Charlie. Jock, quite brutish, suffers gun shots, fist fights, threats to his person and comes out without a scar. And always with a ‘it’s all right, sir’.
This movie was just plain fun. There is absolutely nothing deep about Mordetcai.
