Cool Money (2005 TV Movie)
5/10
Could have been much more. Rather entertaining for a late night TV movie. Picture Ocean's 11 poor neighbour with an eviction notice under the door, and there you'll have it :P

Briefly: Rather entertaining for a late night TV movie with good food and wine and not much else to do, however, don't expect to toss your nickers off for it either. Picture Ocean's 11 poor neighbour with an eviction notice under the door, and there you'll have it :P

The good:

Actors were good. General plot was fine. Atmosphere was there. Music the right style for this type of movie.

The bad/unfortunate:

Direction: there was such a mush up of directional styles superficially coming and going... did not really stick to a signature style. Had a little or rather tried to have a little bit of a Tarantino vibe to it (without the violence bit but the narrative dialogue there) but...uh..NO. It could have been so much more. Still, all in all it keeps moving at an appropriate pace so it doesn't bore you to death like other low budget films I have witnessed.

Script: Gosh, it was weak at times. I thought some scenes were not required, some others not expanded as much, some characters truly interesting not really developed. Had few humorous bits in there but not as much. It lacked originality at times and especially at the robberies!!! I mean come on!This movie should have had at least a bit smart and complex robbery scenes or at least the LAST one that was supposedly a big fish. Again, had the potential to be so much more.

Unfortunate title: I mean ''cool money'' really? so not cool...
