Storyline

In Paris, Interpol arrests an art forger ten minutes after his sweetheart leaves the apartment with 5 million francs. She's set him up. Two years later, Wiley's out of jail, bartending in L.A., trying to forget her. Kate shows up with a new name, a fiancé who's a mob boss, and a scheme to steal and sell a priceless Modigliani if Wiley will forge a painting to put in its place. An odd FBI agent named Joak threatens Wiley with more jail time if Wiley doesn't help sting Kate. Who will win out: the mob, the FBI, Wiley, his lying cheating sweetie, or some surprising combination?

User Reviews

One of the funniest movies I've seen

Loved this movie. Goldblum, Graff and Scott-Thomas have great chemestry. Also, agent Zoak was very good. I love the subtle humor of Graff. Reminded me of Bobcat Goldwrath.
