Behind the screen, the writers of this movie are the Coen Brothers, always coming up with humorous concepts. The direction and production of Gambit is by Michael Hoffman and Mike Lobell, respectively. The screen is handled by the cinematographer Florian Ballhauss while Rolfe Kent takes over as the music producer. With such a humongous and fantabulous crowd, this film ought to deliver a splendid performance for the audience.

as Harry Deane whose only purpose is to avenge his maniac ruthless boss who doesn't seem to care a bit about those under him and is eccentric. Harry has created a perfect vision to con his boss, aka Lionel Shahbandar, using his only weakness – Monet’s paintings.
Harry is all set to dupe Lionel for a hefty amount by selling him a fake Monet. He has thought of every minute detail, every tiny thing that could be wrong, and also took the aid of a rodeo queen to hatch his masterplan; and just when we think there is no room for error, everything goes wrong.
The rest of the film is just a series of hilarious moments as Harry tries to resolve every conflict, and ends up causing more chaos. Lione isn't as gullible as he thought and does the ditzy cowgirl have her purpose to execute?
Star Performances
The one character that steals the show is Alan Rickman. With his grumpy and ruthless boss exterior, he seems a complete natural in this role. Also, as a quirky cowgirl, Cameron Diaz serves as a cherry on the cake for this comic remake.

comic and comes out as a light-hearted story. But it fails to live up to the standards of Coen Brother’s previous works, famous for bringing out works that leave the audience laughing their hearts out throughout the cinematic experience. The actors have come up with their best performances but the script seems blatant some scenes feel like pushovers.
Once again, it is quite a chucklesome comic but with the cast including notable names such as Alan Rickman and Cameron Diaz, this remake just failed to set the bar high, instead lowering the standards. If the screenplay included more witty and well-thought-out dialogues it indeed would have been the masterpiece the audience expected it to be.

Verdict
Gambit serves the purpose of being a comic movie just right, with the actors delivering their potential best. It’s the story that needs improvement to ace this film but if you are looking for a chill Sunday afternoon movie, Gambit could be the one for you, it will surely make you laugh a lot at times but don't expect it to be all the time.
