If you don't like spoilers, please be warned.Right from the beginning I had a hard time not screaming at the screen. It felt like these characters were guaranteed to do the exact opposite of a rational person any time an important decision needed to be made. I'm sorry to say this, but they came off to me like well acted idiots.I won't pretend I didn't like the performances. I gave this movie two stars because... well, ask yourself this question: What would you do if a bunch of money landed on the hood of your car? Now imagine a movie about two people who do things that are far stupider (yes I said "stupider") than that. If you could find these people and get your money back, wouldn't you? So would I, but not the way Bean's character did.It ended up feeling like one stupid decision after another that ended these characters up in the dumbest situation I can imagine, and I'm pretty creative. Hardly any of it felt right, and I found it difficult to really root for any of the characters. Honestly, I kind of wanted Bean's character to get away with it and kill these morons by the end. I know that's bad, but at least I'm honest.This movie's one redeeming quality is a scene between Bean and Cheadle where he calls him on what I considered to be a very important bluff. If the rest of the movie were as ballsy as that scene, we might have had ourselves a movie. Well, at least it wasn't another predictable series of clichés like Hollywood so often produces these days.

Although the execution of this film is only so-so - it straddles the line between crime thriller and quirky comedy and is not quite successful in either genre - I'd recommend watching it for Sean Bean alone. For this is a film that Bean completely dominates, appearing in almost every scene, with tons of dialogue and acting opportunity, and acting everyone else off the screen in the process.It almost feels like the film has been written as a tribute to Bean and I'm not complaining. He's a hoot as a criminal dedicated to tracking down every cent of his stolen cash, bringing plenty of his trademark deadpan humour to the part. Bean exerts an air of authority, of quiet menace, like few other actors and his presence here is second to none. His character is a guy who rarely has to resort to violence, instead controlling people through his personality alone. He's fantastic, the best I've seen him in years.The rest of the film is okay, but the director can't hide the fact that most of the budget was spent on getting Bean and the rest of it feels rather cheap and lacklustre. It's amusing to see Chris Hemsworth, pre-THOR fame, appearing here and giving a rather weak performance in contrast to Bean. And the ending is one of the lamest cop-outs I've seen in a good while. Thank God Bean is here to distract us from these shortcomings.

This is a movie that you watch, get some fun out of it and forget when it's over. And this is meant as a compliment.We might argue what the purpose of cinema is, but Ca$h has an entertaining story with premises that are mostly believable. The cast delivers an overall decent performance. However, with less known actors it would have been just one of many B-movies.Sean Bean is excellent and there is no need to elaborate on that. Chris Hemsworth reveals his limitations as an actor. When you see him in Ca$h you understand he's been a logical choice for the role of Thor which came out roughly a year later. Victoria Profeta was my treat in the movie. With her looks and skills i wonder where she'd been before and makes me ponder what it takes to make it in Hollywood.

Not all movies are made to be artistic or masterpieces. This is just a random criminal/drama movie that can be entertaining depending on who's watching. It definitely has flaws but had a lot of unintentional weirdly funny scenes. It was an entertaining movie and that's it; nothing special. Still, the movie was a lot better than 80% of the crap movies these days that do half ass job trying to imitate classic movies from the 70' and the 80's.The characters' dialogue script writing was a little amateurish but oh well.......It's a good movie to pass free time!
