An art dealer, Charles Mortdecai, searches for a stolen painting rumored to contain a secret code that gains access to hidden Nazi gold.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
A roguish art dealer chases a stolen painting and Nazi gold in a globe-trotting caper.
Pulpy and darkly comic, with big broad humor. A party watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
