Gambit

Gambit (2012) is a caper comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Mild-mannered London art curator Harry Deane is fed up with his bullying boss and cooks up a scheme to bleed him dry with a forged Monet.

The con needs a partner, and Harry finds her in Texas. PJ Puznowski is a rodeo girl who knows nothing about painting but plenty about playing a part. The plan: she poses as an heiress whose grandfather smuggled the canvas out of Germany in 1945. Colin Firth plays the twitchy curator whose every step goes sideways, Cameron Diaz brings the loud, unpredictable accomplice, and Alan Rickman is the smug tycoon who is far too sharp to fool easily.

The screenplay comes from Joel and Ethan Coen, reworking the 1966 original that starred Michael Caine. It's a light, slightly old-fashioned watch for people who like swindlers and squirmy near-misses over gunfights. Stream Gambit (2012) online on iFILM.
