Review of Mortdecai (2015) by Simon T — 13 Mar 2017
The single biggest problem with this salute to the classic sixties spy caper is that it's just not funny. It's crisply directed by David Koepp, features good actors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor, has an unapologetically OTT lead performance by Johnny Depp (channelling Peter Sellers and Paul Whitehouse) but zero comedy.
A real shame, but Mike Myers got here first and did it better.
