Ca$h

Obsessive compulsive behavior can be hazardous to your health even if you're a bad guy like Sean Bean. This is one of the oldest crime story ever told i.e. the straight guy ends up with the bad guys money and the bad guy wants it back. This one,however, has a twist: the bad guy is a number guy who has O.C.D. and will not settle for anything less than every penny he is owed. In the process he turns the straight guy and his wife into bad guys like himself. I really liked this movie even when it slowed down a little in the middle, because it was a trick they played on the audience. They were setting us up for a big change in the straight couple's character and a surprise ending. There were little flaws in the movie like; Bean practicing Yoga and smoking like chimney,calling the Illinois DMV the Chicago DMV,and a cop-out repayment plan to some of the victims especially to their jerk of a banker. But, by and large this is a very good crime movie with an exceptional ending.

Cash is not a bad movie itself, but the plot seems somewhat factitious - as the activities take place in the present U.S. where you can hardly find shops without security cameras, or easy opportunities to drive around without number plates... And the choices made by the couple seem odd as they did not obtain the money through crime or gambling. Constant calculations and amounts become soon a pain in the neck :)

Sean Bean is great as always, the other actors are nothing special... The movie is a good and adequately lengthy entertainment when there is nothing to do or the weather allows no outdoor activities. But it is definitely neither Michael Mann nor Guy Ritchie.

There's some modest potential here in the relationships between the married couple, who accidentally come into some stolen cash, and the mysterious gunman who comes to retrieve it. A better script might have exploited all three ways of these relationships -- how they change, how they twist, how they surprise us as well as the characters themselves. However, while the script occasionally hints at these possibilities, it does little to exploit them and the result is a passable time-killer with most of the limitations of a TV movie. A little tweaking could have made it funnier or scarier or kinkier or more satiric, or could have infused it with more action, but instead "Ca$h" takes no chances and stays in the see-it-and-forget-it mode.

Chris Hemsworth and Victoria Profeta make a blandly attractive couple. Sean Bean is always watchable but he's not knocking himself out here, probably because he has so little to worth with. Curiously, even at age 50 or so, he provides more of the movie's "beefcake" than does young Mr. Hemsworth.

This film tells the story of a married couple who lands themselves almost seven hundred thousand dollars that literally falls out from the sky. However, it's rightful owner tracks them down and demands every cent of the money they have taken and spent.

"Cash" may sound like an interesting idea, that a couple undergoes changes that they could never imagine. Chris Hemsworth and his on screen wife form a sweet couple who are honest and innocent. The guy who wants the money back, however, counts every cent even though he has recovered most of the money. It gets super tedious and even ridiculous that the characters in the film keep counting cents every minute. Why keep counting the cents when you can count in hundreds of thousands? It makes the film so annoying, and it's more like an accountant's wet dream.

and nothing more. at first sigh. because the script is not an inspired one and the idea too seductive for explore in the best manner. the acting is far to be bad but not more than decent. a film about a suitcase with money and large references to The Box. but, unfortunately, it is not enough. so, the decent job of Sean Bean who looks to create a mix of humor and thriller who is only in few scenes reasonable. a film of a great idea. not bad, not good, only an exercise to use different ingredients, few actors and crumbs of action movies for a story who could be interesting but remains only chain of conventional solutions.
