Review: Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and an amusingly villainous Hugh Grant star in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” a flat adventure film based on the classic role-playing game

to think that a generation of movie watchers may be unaware that Hugh Grant was once a floppy-haired charmer. Playing a duplicitous failed actor in “Paddington 2,” a murder-minded politician in “A Very English Scandal,” a sleazy tabloid reporter in “The Gentlemen” and himself on the red carpet at the Oscars, Mr. Grant in maturity is proving to be one of the screen’s most entertaining miscreants. He is the most delightful element of some very good movies.

Mr. Grant’s gleeful villainy pumps life into his scenes as a scheming usurper in the medieval-ish fantasy world of “D&D,” where monsters and wizards coexist with humans who seem far too unimpressed by the wonders around them. Leading the band of the nonchalant is Chris Pine as Edgin, who in a prologue establishes himself as a literal social-justice warrior who turns into a rascally thief after his wife gets murdered.
