This was a film that was picked at random by my mum and I in Blockbuster while on holiday at my parents house as we couldn't see any big name blockbusters that we all hadn't seen before. We're all fans of Sean Bean and therefore this seemed like the best of the choices that were left. The film also stars former Home and Away actor Chris Hemsworth, and fairly unknown actress Victoria Profeta as his wife. I was slightly worried by the trailers at the start of the film as they all looked like low budget films and it made me think this might be one too.. and I was right!
When it begins, I thought it was going to be awful. The credit things at the start looked cheap and like they'd been done in Powerpoint, the soundtrack was pretty dire and the car chase scenes felt low budget too. However, encouraged by my family I perservered with it, and I am really glad I did because by the end, I think it was a really funny, quirky film that won't get the exposure it deserves just because it's not made by a big Hollywood studio.
As ever, Sean Bean is really fantastic as the very peculiar Pyke, and what I love most is that he's kept that fantastic northern accent of it which just adds to the eccentricity of his character. He acts to perfection, cool and calm for the most part then when he has to switch to a raving lunatic, its quite scary to watch because he switches so well. He is captivating to watch, and it's nice to see him in a more low budget movie - take away all the expensive special effects, and it is where you can really see actors like Bean show their mettle!

Quite an interesting and taught thriller with a twist. It's not totally original in its storyline but altered enough to provide 108 minutes of solid entertainment. The story has been covered so what about the production and acting. At the start there is a reasonably good car chase taking in some of Chicago's notable landmarks and this continues with cityscape views througout the film. I also like the stylish and contemporary cinematographic look. The actors all deliver convincing performances and you soon get drawn into the drama. Similar films are Don't Say a Word and Butterfly on a Wheel.

I bought this since I've always been a fan of Sean Bean ever since Sharpe. I had seen the trailer and thought it seemed really fun.
Well the film is a nice easy watch. It's not too challenging. It's more of a Saturday night action film while you have a few beers. It's fun actually with some nice laughs along the way. The twist at the end was ok if not a little predictable.

Cash stars Sean bean who i love as an actor. . He's the twin of a guy locked up on robbery charges who threw the money in a case which lands on a lucky motorist (ends up not so lucky lol) and starts on a search for the money. . . . having got most of the 600,000 back he gets the unlucky couple to rob shops for the remainer. . . Think Sean bean must have OCD or something cause he wants it all to the penny lol. . . . . Not high adrenaline but very captivating and i enjoyed it loads.

I expected this film to be a run-of-the-mill Hollywood thriller, but 10 minutes into the film I was already smiling broadly.
It is hard to pigeonhole. It is thriller yes, there is comedy yes, it is also an interesting character study in how you can corrupt people and make them criminal through greed. The latter aspect made me think of the British TV series Framed (based on Lynda La Plante's book of the same name).
If you don't like Sean Bean don't get this movie - he's in almost every frame and doing a great job as a menacing but outwardly very polite crook with a world of experience and an accountant's approach to the missing cash: Everything to be accounted for! His deadpan delivery of his character had me in stitches most of the time.
Other reviewers talk of O.C.D. But a guy Sean Bean's age will actually have learned mental arithmetic, and doing relatively simple sums like these is certainly not beyond me either. His constant return to doing the sums for the missing cash and insisting on getting every cent sets the tone for the whole movie and is really quite hilarious.
Having his Sheffield working class accent as a contrast both to his politely menacing behaviour and to the neutral American accents of the young couple adds to the fun, and he's not at all hard to understand without subtitles - and I'm NOT a native English speaker.
Watching the young couple - both actors do a great job in their roles - getting gradually 'corrupted' by the British criminal and having their reactions recognized and commented on in a quietly cynical manner is both informative and entertaining.
The script works well right to the end, by which time the young couple have been completely corrupted and seem to be getting away with it, though the end promises further developments.... Read more ›

My partner and I enjoyed watching this on TV so much that I decided to buy him his own copy. The couple who find the money are put in a desperate position and have to go to extreme levels to retrieve what they spend. This poses the question to the audience of how far they would go in the same position. A very good film, which improves as the story unfolds. I would definitely recommend this, although not for family viewing.
