Mortdecai 2015


Mortdecai     Charlie Mortdecai is having trouble with his wife Johanna because he has grown a mustache!!  It makes her gag reflex react every time she gets near to kiss Charlie.  Charlie and Johanna are almost out of money so she puts a painting up for auction and Charlie tries to recover a stolen painting with a code leading to lost Nazi gold.
     Bosh!! That is what I want to say about this movie!!  Depp plays Mortdecai and he is a ridiculous and inept character.  The only person with any grit is his manservant Jock.  Despite his build and brawn, Jock has been shot several times by Mortdecai and he almost loses one of his fingers.  Both Johanna and Mi-6 Agent Martland are drips!!  2* (I didn’t like this movie and I’m being overly generous with my stars!!)

107 min, Action directed by David Koepp with Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Paul Bettany, Olivia Munn, Jonny Pasvolsky, Michael Culkin, Ulrich Thomsen, Alec Utgoff, Rob de Groot, Guy Burnet.
