Review of Ca$h

Ca$h (2010)
4/10
Poor but not as bad as earlier review
13 June 2011
Not a great movie, poor script and weak acting from all the main protagonists. The plot line is, as an earlier review, alluded to, very simplistic although although not as much as many other crime movies. I had the misfortune to see Bruce Willis in 'cop out' the other day which made this seem unbelievably complex in comparison. The earlier reviewer got a few things wrong. The scene where Sam And his wife leave for the day is, badly done granted, a flashback to before he comes across the cash. Sam endures a sleepless night worrying about money and the impending bank manager. Presumably he was on his way to the bank when the case fell on to his car and this is why he was 5 minutes late. In short, the first opportunity he gets, back home with his wife, he does count the cash. Secondly, the greeting to the manager of "my banker" wasn't for the viewers benefit but was a sarcastic salutation to show how Sam no longer regarded his position as subservient to the bank manager, heavy handed but really quite obvious. Thirdly, the scene with the black guy wasn't great but Sean Bean's accent wasn't Irish, nor was it anywhere else in the film, but broad Sheffield in Yorkshire where Sean Bean is from. I did find the start a bit puzzling as we saw a short haul BA 737 landing at a UK airport only to find Sean Bean walking out into a US car lot. Simple stuff like this should have died with the 70's.
