WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

James Figueras (Bang) is a disgraced art critic whose only gimmer of hope is his enigmatic new American squeeze Berenice (Debicki). He is soon given an opportunity by wealthy art dealer Joseph Cassidy (Jagger) to steal a painting from famously reclusive artist Jerome Debney (Sutherland), but James soon becomes consumed by greed and ambition that traps him in a web of his own making…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Art theft, greed and Mick Jagger in a villainous role all dominate this intense thriller, which benefits from its handsome cast and its intelligent script by Oscar-nominee Scott B. Smith.
