Review of Ca$h

Ca$h (2010)
7/10
Fun thriller, but not much else
11 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Ca$h stars Sean Bean as Pyke, a criminal whose jailed brother tells him he had to let go of a ton of money during a car chase. It just happens that it falls on the roof of the car of Sam (Chris Hemsworth), a poor, don on his luck guy. Along with his wife, Leslie (Victoria Profeta), they automatically blow a lot of the money. It is then Pyke asks them to give them back the money they still have & pay him back the money they spent. That could be them trading in a car, or even robbing convenient stores. It's a good premise made into a fun movie, but it doesn't offer anything besides entertainment. There was already a movie like this called No Country For Old Men, so there's nothing original, and it's not really brave, but it's certainly entertaining. Bean, Profeta, and Hemsworth are all good, although Bean being the great actor that he is outshines both of the lesser actors. Ca$h does veer off into some unnecessary places, but it keeps the audience fully engaged most of the time, and Ca$h provides nice thrills and a decent social satire. The soundtrack by Jim Bianco is also excellent, and adds a lot to the film. So overall, I highly recommend this film for a matinée.
