Such a frustrating disappointment

Great Film overall

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Entertaining, funny, light comedy with fantastic actors. Great seeing Cameron Diaz tap into Texan accent.

Literally the worst movie I've ever seen. Godawful.

Gambit is a very poor film with a simple story that is in no way special and a great cast that sadly couldn't save this mess. It had a promising set up and with a cast like Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz and Alan Rickman, it seemed like it could have been a very fun comedy caper, but sadly it did not come close, there's no real element of adventure in it because of just how straight forward the whole story was, we never feel in danger. I am a big fan of the three main actors but they just could not do anything to save this, Colin Firth's characterisation for Harry was great, he clearly put a lot of work in to this role, but sadly he is unlikeable, it's difficult to support him. As for Diaz and Rickman, their characters were simply irritating, with an uneducated supporting female and a villain who is in no way menacing. As a comedy, it's simply not funny, using nudity and sexual innuendos as its main source for laughter, it's very immature for a British comedy, which you would normally expect to be more sophisticated and subtle. Despite an impressive cast, Gambit loses any potential it had with lame comedy and unlikeable characters, I would not recommend it. An art curator wants to seek revenge on his boss, so he hatches a plan in to conning him to buy a fake Monet. Best Performance: Colin Firth

I have watched the film and then out of curiosity went onto IMDb to find such a low rating! I am a bit of Colin Firth fan. I loved how Firth's costume was a suit and the humour was very subtle and indeed very British - it did remind me a bit of his role in Kingsman. The film also cheered me up after having a bad day. I'd recommend it to everyone who likes to be amused without the need to laugh out loud or listen to loud and obvious jokes.The plot was indeed not the most unique. Although it wasn't until he was holding the painting until it clicked for me of how obvious it actually was. However, the casting in this film is great!Having a cowgirl from Texas along side what one might call proper British gentlemen was hilarious!
