One can only assume that Uma Thurman and Samuel L Jackson either owed the director money, or she had something on them, to agree to take part in this tosh.
The premise is good, but the script is wooden and the directing and editing weak. Uma Thurman's intern is incredibly annoying. Mr Jackson, whilst acting as brilliantly as always, sports a ridiculous beard. Uma Thurman herself seems to have fallen an awfully long way from the heights of Kill Bill and her association with QT, and IMHO I would not have cast her in this non-action role.
The film appears to have gained some social respectabillity by showing that idiots who buy modern art are...well...idiots. Hmmm. Not exactly a revelation, is it?
The last fifteen minutes of the film are the best. Something actually happens. But even that is spoiled by poor, lax editing and writing. What should have been the exciting climax of the plot just falls flat, and the viewer is left wondering why this, why that, and why the other....
