DVD - Gambit (12A)


Why invest in Oscar winning ‘Best Picture’, Argo, which also came out on DVD this week, when you can add the truly terrible, Gambit, to your collection instead.

The basic premise is-Colin Firth conjures a, needlessly, fiddly revenge plan in which he attempts to con his boss into buying a fake Monet painting.
Hijinks ensue, however, when he’s forced to enlist the help of unpredictable rodeo queen, Cameron Diaz. If that sounds funny to you, you’re wrong.

I don’t understand why this didn’t work-the Coen brothers wrote it, two of our most beloved character actors, Stanley Tucci and Alan Rickman, star alongside fail-safe leads, Diaz and Firth-yet it still doesn’t work.

On second thought, do go ahead and buy Argo instead.
