Mortdecai looks like the best thing Johnny Depp has done in a long time as he plays Charles Mortdecai, an art dealer who searches for a stolen painting that’s reportedly linked to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.
The film also stars Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Munn, Paul Bettany, Jeff Goldblum and Oliver Platt, and is directed by David Koepp, whose last film was 2012’s reasonable movie Premium Rush, staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and also is the screenwriter for loads of films such as Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible, 2002’s Spider-Man and the Indiana Jones and the Kingdowm of the Crystal Skull in 2008.
Mortdecai is out in the UK on January 30th 2015, a week ahead of the US release date, but often, it’s the less-than-great films which get shoved into January and February, while the bigger ones are saved for the spring, summer and Christmas.
