“The Painter” (** out of four) was a rudimentary action melodrama about a former CIA operative (Charlie Weber) who now lives a peaceful life as a remote painter but a mysterious visitor (Madison Bailey) from his past plunges him right back into mayhem and murder as he is targeted by rogue agents and has to turn back into his former mentor (Jon Voight) for help. Not bad but yet another unnecessary “Bourne” rehash that didn’t need to be told. Great to see Voight as always but he’s wasted in an underwritten supporting role.
