He’s abetted by his father (Christopher Plummer) and son (Tye Sheridan), and hampered by the truly terrible wig atop his head. Seriously, who’s going to believe this guy can forge a Monet when he can’t even convincingly fake his own hair? Watch The Forger trailer after the jump. 

Yahoo debuted The Forger trailer.

But the rest of it doesn’t seem so hot, either. The Forger looks like a gritty crime drama, a sentimental family comedy, and a slick heist film rolled into one. And not in a good way — the tone seems to be all over the place. Critics weren’t much into The Forger when it debuted at Toronto last year, calling it “contrived,” “unpersuasive,” and “uninspired.”

The Forger also stars Abigail Spencer, Anson Mount, and Jennifer Ehle. Philip Martin directed. It’ll hit DirecTV on March 26 before going to VOD and theaters April 24.
