Hard Cash

The film wasn't much good but what got me really distracted was Sofia (Bulgaria) trying to look like New York. Another sign that there was not much money to back this project (otherwise they would have at least tried Toronto). Of course it doesn't look as NY at all, for the whole movie I was trying to guess where in the world it was filmed (I guessed rightly that it was in Europe). Slater and Hannah definitely deserve something better than this cliché' full of scenes already seen in other not so great films. Certainly they aren't the best actors around but their and others' performances are what keeps together this lame attempt of a film.

This movie received alot of negative reviews. The "special effects" were cheesy, especially the background car scenes. You could tell the actors were in a prop car in front of a blue screen. The editing was rough an alot of places.

I actually didn't hate it as much as I thought I would after reading all these "worst film ever" reviews. Maybe that is what it takes. Expect the worst and you'll think it is "okay".

Slater is good in this one. Kilmer is over the top but good as the quirky bad guy. I had fun with this movie. I thought it could have ended better, but overall, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen. It has the predictable "get me out of here before the bomb explodes" scene and the double crosses and such so don't expect anything new. If it comes on cable, you may want to check it out if nothing else is on. I wouldn't recommend going out of the way to rent/watch it though.

So bad it's actually quite good fun says it all really. Some of the scenes could actually be from a spoof movie. If you accept it's not going to be a great (or even good) film, it is OK - good for late on the weekend after a few beers.

You do have to wonder how Kilmer and Slater, though admittedly hardly at the peak of their careers, got involved in this. Either the script never got read, or both actors have no scruples when it comes to making a fast buck - it certainly won't have done anybodys career prospects any good. I hope they were well paid because I can't believe this film made any money.

Crack another beer, relax, and laugh, (or cry). Don't say I didn't warn you...

This is one of the worst films that I have ever watched. I rented it because I had faith in Slater and Kilmer - I was disappointed. The plot started out ok but quickly went sour. Same with the acting. The funniest part was the boating sequence. Ever watch a movie where people are in a car and the make-believe background is whipping around behind them in the rear window while they make stupid movements behind the wheel ? Picture it in a boat. Save your money, save your time. Ignore this movie.

It was really bad. I was so disappointed! It has Christian Slater and Balthazar Getty, two of my most favorite actors, and I was really excited to see this, I thought it was be cool, it wasn't. I tried to convince myself that it was good because of the actors in it, but alas, there was not too much that was good about it. I saw it on USA and not on HBO or whatever it was on, so I think that all the massive editing of the film probably wrecked it even more. There was a lot of swearing edited out and its not at all realistic for a bank robber about to arrested to say "lets get the freak outta here!" So... I think the movie was probably a littel better viewed unedited, but I don't know how much that helped. I wanted to like it but it was pretty worthless. Daryl Hannah is the worst actress ever... how she ever gets cast in anything, I will never know. So I wouldn't bother with this movie, if you like the actors in it(Slater, Getty or Kilmer) rent another one of their movies, cause this one sucks.
