Double-cross film about double-dealers has panache, 20 décembre 2008

Auteur : donby-1 de Etats-Unis

A scam is afoot, but then there is a double-cross, triple-cross, quadruple-cross, etc. I found the film enjoyable, parts of it filmed inside some very posh hotels that you usually don't see in films.

Also, there are the Extremely Attractive three lead actors, very easy on the eyes.

Some of the critical reviewers seem to have been expecting Citizen Kane, which of course it isn't. But it's fun to try to differentiate the good guys from the bad guys. You won't be bored !

French films in the past have gotten a bad rap accused of being too "arty". This is certainly not true of this offering, whose purpose is only to entertain. Enjoy !

Not quite a "sting", but neither "THE Sting"!, 3 septembre 2008

Auteur : Mihnea the Pitbull de Roumanie

The comparison is fateful - for better (as "unavoidable") and worse (as "suicidal"). The main fault lays in the characters (none has the perverse charm of Gondorff and Hooker) and in those parts of the script that depict the heists (not by far as ingenious as in the best movies of the genre, but neither as hair-pulled and flat as in the "Ocean..." series). Fortunately, the direction is fast-paced and stylish, so this saves the day more or less. And... okay, I won't spoil the ending, but one thing should be stated: it's totally unlikely. You do NOT pull such an elaborate farce, ONLY to send (...) screaming in a motor boat without fuel in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Further, the perpetual use of the trick "I'm not who you thought me to be" is hugely abused of, reminding rather of "The Pirates of the Caribbean". What really stands is the sparkling direction and the old-fashioned style, nostalgically recalling the end of the Seventies. For such a merry flick, it's positively refreshing.

There are more heist movies in the world than Ocean11 - please stop comparing!, 1 septembre 2008

Auteur : Vik Weimer de Allemagne

Apart from the numerous stylistic resemblances between "Ca$h" and the Ocean's 11/12/13 movies (funky music, editing pace, use of colorful light, etc.), you have to realize that this is a very different movie. Of course, if all you have seen in this genre is Ocean's 11, and you're easily distracted by style, then of course you draw parallels, and you might prefer the Ocean's movies.

This is, please let me emphasize this, this is NOT a heist movie! So don't expect a heist movie! This movie is more in the line of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", in that it's filled with con artists, scams, twists, and a sometimes very comedic approach to all that.

Sure it could be better here and there, but it's a really nice feel good crime/(little bit of)heist/con movie, charming and entertaining, and I left the movie theater with a big grin.

Not perfect, but enjoyable.

Excellent crime caper, 26 mars 2009

Auteur : Gail Field de Australie

I just saw this at the French Film Festival and thought it was excellent - no way I could foresee the ending. OK there's a lot of twists and turns but in the end it was all well done and well thought out. I would like to see it again now that I know the ending to figure it all out. Personally I liked it and anyone who says that Julia Molina is not hot must be blind (ref: a previous commentator), especially in that fantastic evening gown she wears. I like the Jean Dujardin's easy style and charm and all the cast were great. I wasn't used to actually seeing Jean Reno speaking in his native tongue! All in all, a great watch if you don't like your films predictable.

Reno's own Ocean, 9 avril 2009

Auteur : kosmasp

A french caper movie, with a stellar cast. Enjoyable and kinda light, despite the criminal background of the movie. Of course you might see where this is going way before it actually gets revealed, but as with other movies, but as a saying goes: "The journey is its own reward" and it is true with this film here too.

The actors seemed to have great fun and you will have to, if you let yourself enjoy this crime caper, that has some of the finest contemporary and popular french actors in it. I did watch it at the Fantasy Filmfest in Stuttgart and was one of the few that liked it. Most thought it wasn't anything special or new, but that wasn't the point in my view. So just sit back, relax and enjoy (if you can and are able to)

Clever. Maybe too clever for its own good?, 6 octobre 2008

Auteur : gridoon2009

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Although I'm a big fan of movies with plot twists, there are occasions where these can go too far, to the point of negating everything that went on before and telling you that everything you just watched was a big lie. The 2003 film "Basic" falls into that category, and "Ca$h" follows the same path. The good side of this is that the film is almost entirely unpredictable; the bad side is that the whole incredibly elaborate plan of the true mastermind(s) at the end relies on the victim(s) doing EXACTLY what they are expected to do - one "wrong" move, and the whole plan would go to ruins. If you can live with that, the film is good-looking fluff; Valeria Golino, with a new, sophisticated hairstyle, looks as if she hasn't aged a day since "Hot Shots" back in the early 90's, and Alice Taglioni is sexy & tricky. (**1/2)

Pretentious poppycock, 25 août 2008

Auteur : richard_sleboe de Allemagne

"Cash" is a sad case of Paris playing Hollywood, and failing. The plot is a total "Ocean's Twelve" knock-off, with bits of "Heist" and "After the Sunset" tossed in. Also, Catherine Zeta-Jones was about a zillion times hotter as Europol power bitch Isabel Lahiri (than Valeria Golino in the near-identical part of a struggling international forgery investigator). Everyone else is even more forgettable, with the possible exception of Ciarán Hinds in the part of Julia's hard-headed boss. Jean Reno, who appears in the small part of the big counterfeit kahuna, must have owed someone a favor. Don't waste your time with this.
