Harry
Deane works in London for a very abusive and rude boss. Harry is an expert in fine art and he’s
thought up a scheme for revenge against his boss. His friend the Major will paint a fake Monet painting, they
will recruit a woman from Texas to claim the painting has been hanging in her trailer
since she was a small girl. She is
supposed to be related to American Sgt. Brian “Bulldog” Puznowski who recovered
the painting from German Officer Hermann Goring at the end of WWII in 1945.
There
are a lot of twists in this film.
Firth, Diaz and Courtenay do a good job in their roles and Rickman could
not get much more annoying. Circumstances cause changes in their plan as they go along but there is a bigger change at the
end. 3* (This movie is OK)
