Cameron Diaz in Gambit
In Gambit, the new comedy caper scripted by the Coen brothers, Cameron Diaz stars as PJ Puznowski - Texas rodeo queen and key to securing £12 million from Britain's wealthiest man.
Private art curator Harry Deane (Firth) devises a finely-crafted scheme to con England's richest man and avid art collector, Lionel Shabandar, (Rickman) into purchasing a fake Monet painting.
