Stanley Tucci stars in forgettable Amazon heist film Masterplan
Stanley Tucci leads a star-studded art heist film on Amazon Prime Video. But the movie struggles to justify its premise.
Stanley Tucci stars in Masterplan, a heist film on Amazon Prime Video about stealing the Mona Lisa. The film pairs Tucci with Victor Belmondo and Simona Tabasco from The White Lotus.
Belmondo is related to Breathless star Jean-Paul. Tucci plays a British criminal mastermind recruiting two young thieves who turn out to be his secret kids.
The film includes retina-scan cloning, drones, truffle espionage and a tunnel under the Louvre. Reviews say the plot becomes increasingly ridiculous.
But some heist twists avoid feeling like Ocean's 11. The Guardian's review offers faint praise.
It could work as Sunday night company but will likely be forgotten within a week.
