- Money is freedom. Relatively old, but very dynamic action movie. It's easy and unforced. It's all about simple dialogue, dosed with scenes of chases and shootouts. The plot is simple, and it revolves around a suitcase, inside which are two and a half million dollars, fell to the share of a carjacker and a newspaper reporter. Having different views on life, they gradually realize that there are things more important than money. They are confronted by a pair of notorious villains consisting of a bandit and a corrupt cop. They will go to any length to get back this money belonging to the mafia.
Maybe the first time and visits the delight of viewing, but then, reviewing this time, you can notice small, but still flaws. Of course, they can not spoil the impression, but still they are. For example, the heroine jumps his head out the window through the glass. He jumps left, flies right, lands left again. It is clear that the stuntman was filmed separately, maybe even at another time, so as often happens, they forgot what the jump was. And this is not an isolated incident. You can also pay attention to the rough installation. Yes, Yancy Butler is a very fragile girl to perform all the tricks and it is not her fault, but from the simple and at the same time spectacular scene when she appeared from the trunk, I expected more. Unfortunately, the director had his own view of it.
Judging by how spectacularly and with ostentatious pleasure cars crashed, before making dizzying kulbits, we can assume that the budget was sufficient and the choice of such actors for the main roles was correct and very successful.
Despite the constant dynamics, closer to the middle, the tension decreases. Heroes are fond of clarifying relationships, like a married couple in a period of crisis, proving each other the correctness of their views, guided by personal grievances. And towards the end, a real romance begins. And when green papers with busts of American presidents begin to spin, like autumn leaves in the park, it becomes light and not at all offensive.
