Gambit | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

So-so remake of '60s caper has slapstick, brief nudity.

... feels like a first draft of a dusty script that was pulled from the bottom of a drawer without being polished prior to production.

Firth and Diaz, game as they are, look lost and disappointed most of the time during Gambit, as though they pictured themselves making Burn After Reading, and instead found themselves in The Ladykillers.

The director behind Soapdish and The Last Station is generally reliable, but he can't keep up with the Coens' fast paced dialogue.

Firth demonstrates flawless comic timing and a knack for gentle slapstick during many sequences that might have bombed with another actor playing Harry Deane.
