A certain sunny sloppiness almost redeems Jon Amiel's throwback caper flick

It plays more like a big-budget episode of Remington Steele or Hart to Hart.

The stars have zero chemistry and the movie is none too thrilling.

It's a superficial but entertaining caper that's a good, old-fashioned yarn.
