Review: Cash

So it's a Friday night and you're not going out. What a better way to spend it then rent a DVD and chill out. So we did this and one of the DVD's we rented out was Cash (Well, I say 'We' when I didn't even pick it out...honest). To say the least, I have never ever heard of this film and I don't think it had a cinema release.

The film stars Sean Bean who is a relatively famous actor and has had some good roles in films and programmes such as Sharpe (a long-running programme 1993-2008), Goldeneye and Lord of The Rings. The film also stars some dude called Chris Hemsworth who was once in Neighbours.

Anyway the film is basically about a couple who struggle with money and life and then come across a large sum of money after a robbery had gone wrong. One of the people who was involved in the robbery, Sean Bean, gets sent to prison. His twin brother, also Sean Bean, visits him in prison and then sets out to find out where their money has gone. Needless to say the couple have quit their 'dead-end' jobs and gone on a spending spree and spent a fair bit of this stolen 'Cash'. Sean Bean's character has an obsession for everything to be exact, especially the amount of money that was stolen and the amount the couple had spent. He makes them retrieve all of their receipts and count up the amount that they have spent.

In the summary of the film it says the couple are made to cheat, lie and steal. In the film they do a fair bit of lying, almost cheat and steal...from convenience stores and a bank to make the money back that they have spent. Not as intense as the summary makes the film sound out to be as it lacks in some more action.

We sat there for an hour and felt like the film hadn't really got going. With some more action it could probably be a better then just below average film. I wouldn't really recommend it as I don't feel the need in wanting to watch it again.
