Art is the topic for this unfinished portrait of a man with a headache, and a mission to find fakes.
Though full of promise, the tangled mess of details and plot holes don't redeem the premise.
O'Brien is competent, Trevor entertaining (and gets the bulk of the production $$ for her wardrobe), and the rest follow directorial instructions.
All the details about the art involved are worth following, and it's good to see a story that does not follow along typical noir plotlines. But at the same time, the chicanery and intensity that builds around a somewhat flimsy plot is unfulfilling.
Worth a look but could have been much better.
