Hot Films 2015: Mortdecai

Comedy
Johnny Depp plays the titular Charlie Mortdecai in Mortdecai, an adaptation of a comical series of cult thriller novels by Kyril Bonfiglioli. David Koepp directed this romp that looks to blend action and comedy in equal measures.

Depp's Mortdecai looks just shy of completely incompetent in the film's trailer, but he must have some redeeming qualities that inspire Ewan McGregor's character to approach him to solve the theft of a priceless Goya painting.

The goofy detective has support in the form of a manservant (yes, manservant) played by Paul Bettany and his wife played by Gwyneth Paltrow. In addition to thugs, thieves, and attack dogs, Mortdecai also contends with temptation in the form of an American woman played by Olivia Munn.

You won't have to wait too long for this one - Mortdecai hits theatres this Friday, January 23. Check out the trailer below!
