Reasonable film about an art dealer with money problems who makes a deal with a criminal. A film about the elusiveness of art, although that remains quite superficial (the whole thing reminded me a bit of Velvet Buzzsaw). The film focuses more on the plot. A little more sharpness and humor, and it would have been 3.5 stars.

A gallery owner [Uma Thurman] in dire straits pays off her debt to drug dealer Reggie [Joe Manganiello] by making a deal with his boss [Samuel L. Jackson]. She uses her gallery for money laundering by selling Reggie's "artwork." Her enthusiasm makes Reggie, under the pseudonym "The Bagman," an unintended media sensation, with all the consequences. This crime film with satirical elements misses the mark due to hopeless, over-the-top acting, especially from the supporting cast. Only Jackson escapes somewhat unscathed.

There are certainly more films that critique the art world. (Untitled) (2009), for example, or Boogie Woogie (2009). This one takes a different path, but ultimately arrives at the same conclusion, albeit with a few rather original ideas. It's a shame that the execution remains somewhat marginal.
Uma Thurman's acting is a bit too over-the-top, too theatrical. Samuel L. too, but we've been used to that sort of thing from him for far too long, so it hardly stands out anymore. Manganiello is better, though, as he is, in terms of his role. If only the whole film were on that level.
And ultimately, it's just a bit too much of a lame, empty-box movie. It's a shame, it could have been better. It's mainly the lazy direction that prevents it from being a masterpiece.
