Johnny Depp is known for his eccentric interpretations, which can be marvelous or, in this case, an awkward flop. He plays an upper crust rogue and art scammer with a stupid moustache. There’s an unoriginal plot about a stolen painting, but the focus is on his character’s supposedly hilarious hijinks and clueless charms. NOT ONE JOKE lands and the supporting cast of impressive talent has taken his lead and avoided all attempts at being funny. The dry direction doesn’t offer any help. A new low for Depp.
