Burning $100 Bills
18 April 2014
Just picture that, burning hundred dollar bills. That sick feeling of something valuable completely wasted. That's the feeling you'll have watching some great actors slog through this truly embarrassing mess of a film. The hack script is a museum of heinous clichés and stereotypes. The actors do their best to salvage the horrendous script with over-the-top, scenery chewing performances, but the result is just ludicrous.

Trying to see positives, Ed Harris gives a good effort (he was one of the producers) and our hero husband and wife have some hints of chemistry. But our painfully cartoonish antagonist, Josiah, just ruins the whole film. Again, not for lack of effort from Jason Isaacs, but from the godawful script.

To be fair, there are some terrible films that still have some charm or appeal that makes them enjoyable. This not one of them.
