Don't Point that Thing at Me is the hilarious and dark humored crime thriller featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai: degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Piccadilly. With his thuggish manservant Jock, Mortdecai endures all manner of nastiness involving secret police, angry foreign governments, stolen paintings, and dead clients, all just to make a dishonest living--while decked out in the most stylish garb and drinking the most bizarre alcoholic cocktails.
Reviews with the most likes.
Enjoyable enough caper comedy, but I was lost among some of the more obscure literary artistic references. It will be interesting to see how well this translates to the big screen, as Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor are not the portly somewhat older gentlemen described in the book.
