Critics Consensus: A curiously charmless caper that squanders a starry cast and screenplay by the Coen brothers, this Gambit doesn't pay off.

No, there’s no avoiding the truth. The farce is – for now, at least – dead, and it’s very unlikely that uninspired homages like Gambit will revive it.

Never subtle and always over-the-top, nothing about this unnecessary remake suggests anything but a routine and painfully dull "madcap romp" in need of a distinct personality driving the production.

...a disappointingly forgettable endeavor that could (and should) have been so much better.
