“The Burnt Orange Heresy” (*1/2 out of four) was an utterly pointless adaptation of Charles Willeford’s novel about a desperate artist (Claes Bang) who is hired by a villanious art dealer (Mick Jagger) to steal a rare painting from a reclusive artist (Donald Sutherland) but soon becomes overwhelmed with greed and ambition as he realizes the operation is spinning out of control. Leaden story never gets off the ground and thus never involves the audience. Jagger shows some style in a very brief role; why he picked this as his first acting role in years shows that time really isn’t on his side.
