Plot summary
Elizar Perla is a recently retired cat burglar who has succumbed to the temptation of one final score. The target is David Gray, famous for his collection of art and other rarities. Soon after the job, Elizar disappears, leaving his daughter Marty (Gina Gershon) distraught. Desperate, Gray approaches Marty suggesting that her father will turn up as soon as the stolen artwork is recovered. She begrudgingly accepts the offer to help him locate the art, but all is not as it seems, as the rarest of stolen pieces has value beyond ordinary currency. Written by Peace Arch

Gina Gershon is good as a femme fatale
Predictable
I was generally upset by the other reviews about this movie mostly stating that it was unpredictable and a sleeper. Anyone who has a basic understanding of the classics would know about Dorian Gray, David Gray not being much of a stretch on the name. This is a very childish allusion and made the movie beyond predictable; the second a stolen painting was put into the mix it kind of gave a way the whole plot and made me want to pull my hair out the whole movie. The foreshadowing apparently sprinkled in were blatant and obvious clues just adding to the hair pulling. All around I regret watching this movie because of its predictability, maybe if I was ignorant to basic literature then maybe this would have been an alright movie.
