Plot
Elizar Perla is a retired art thief intent on committing his last crime. He targets David Gray, a famous art and rarities collector. Once the job is done, he disappears. Then the story focuses on the aftermath of the crime as the wealty collector is desperate to get one particular painting back. Perla's daughter, lawyer Marty, agrees to track the missing artwork as her father is the main suspect (hence the name of the film).
Cast
Reception
Confused, poorly acted and with the production values of a high-school media studies project, Just Business is a film with no redeeming features. In fact, even calling it a "film" is a stretch. The fact that someone, somewhere, has had the poor sense to release it to the public is far more puzzling than anything happening in this so called mystery story. From its muddled plot, a modern-day American crime thriller, based loosely on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, to acting of epically poor proportions, it is not even so bad it's good.
