Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gambit is a 2012 film directed by Michael Hoffman, starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman and Stanley Tucci. It's sort of a remake of the 1966 crime caper film by the same name starring Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine.Harry Deane (Firth) is an art curator for Lord Shabandar (Rickman), a thoroughly unpleasant, but very rich man. Deane knows that Shabandar has an obsession with Claude Monet's Haystacks series, so he sets up a scheme where he enlists rodeo queen PJ Puznowski (Diaz) to fake owning one of the Haystacks paintings (actually a forgery by Deane's friend, the Major) so that they can swindle Shabandar for a sizable sum. Of course, everything goes wrong from the outset, but Puznowski starts to realize that maybe there's a little more to Deane than she thought.Not to be confused with the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Or the game show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Daydream Surprise | |
| Gambit / int_118a41d5 | comment |
Daydream Surprise: In an early scene of the film, Deane approaches Puznowski, photographs the picture in Puznowski's immaculate trailer, Shabandar is immediately hooked, and the sale goes off without a hitch. Then, we flash back to reality where he hasn't yet approached her and, once he does, everything goes off script. | |

Completely Unnecessary Translator | |
| Gambit / int_e125c425 | comment |
Completely Unnecessary Translator: Shahbandar has a meeting with Takagawa, a Japanese rival who is being helped by a very flamboyant translator, Chuck. It's quickly revealed that most of the Japanese executives understand Shahbandar perfectly, but that they enjoy making fun of Shahbandar by forcing him to go through a translator. | |
