Review of Movie "CASH"

"CASH" is a movie that was made in 2010 and it stars Sean Bean and Chris Hemsworth. The plot of the movie is that Sean Bean's character's brother (who is his identical twin) is in jail awaiting trial for armed robbery and 1 st degree murder, because his accomplice in the armed robbery was killed at the end of the police chase after the robbery. So Sean arrives in town goes to visit his brother to get the skinny. During the car chase, the brother tosses out a suitcase filled with cash because he doesn't want to get caught by the police with the loot. He sees it hit the hood of a white station wagon with wood panels on the side and a young white guy lean out of the wagon yelling at him. So he surmises and correctly I might add, that that guy will go and buy a new car for cash. Sure enough, Chris's character goes and buys a brand new Range Rover for cash. And then he and his wife go off and buy a house full of new furniture. And Sean finds them through the paperwork that was turned over to the DMV when he purchased his car. (So stupid!!! ) So after Sean finds them he is determined to get every single penny that was stolen. (Sean moves in with them and takes their cell phones and every phone in the house and hides them. Then he forces them cook for him and do his bidding to get the money they owe him back.) All $625,741.38. Can you believe that? By the time Sean finds the couple, they have spent like $74,541.98. So he makes them go to all of the banks where they have hidden some of the cash and then he comes up with a plan to get the outstanding $74,541.98. At first he makes them go to their bank and get an equity loan on their house, but that only nets $11,328.22. So next Sean comes up with a plan that the couple will start robbing 7/11s and convience stores. Finally on the last day that he's given them to pay back all of the money they owe him, Chris decides to rob a bank. Because they are still nearly $6000.00 in arrears. So they put on stocking caps and go rob their bank, Chris gets some payback on the bank manager buy pistol smacking him and he is smart enough to steal some bullets from the bank guard. So after they leave the bank, Chris pulls his gun on Sean and Sean thinks it is empty but it is not because Chris stole bullets from the bank guard. Sean grabs at the gun and then pulls his gun out and the 3 of them now are fighting over the 2 guns and Chris shoots and kills Sean. The couple takes the rental car that Sean had and goes to a wrecking yard and has it crushed into a giant cube and Sean's dead body is inside the trunk. The couple then returns all of the money they stole from the convenience stores and the bank plus extra. The movie ends with the couple sitting at their dinning room table with what is left of the $624,741.38 after they returned the stolen money. And then Sean's twin is released from jail, but I don't think Sean ever told him where or even who the couple was. We'll never know because that was the end. hahahaha

I really liked this movie, even in spite of some of the flaws in the script. Chris was hell of stupid. If you find a bag of money the last thing you do is go buy a car for cash. Several years ago, some bags fell out of an armoured car in Oakland and people were stopping and grabbing bags of cash. Well, one guy who grabbed a bag went the very next day to a car dealer and bought his dream car for cash. the police showed up at his door that same day and arrested him. Dumbass!!! Any transactions over $10,000.00 must be reported to the IRS. And if you are broke on Tuesday and Wednesday you go buy a $50,000.00 Range Rover for Cash, the IRS and maybe even the California State Franchise Tax Board is gonna wanna know about it. What they should have done was go buy a newer used car for like $9,000.00. Then you pack up your belongings and you move to the opposite coast that you are living on or at least 1,500 miles away from your current location. Then you quietly buy a house and property. No one will know you in your new state, so you are now free to shop and buy a new car. Oh and do not forget to change your name. And do not tell anyone from your past where you are living now. If you quietly disappear and do not tell anyone where you are going, it is very possible to not ever be found. Like if you rent a Uhaul to move your furniture, Tell them you are moving to Washington DC, but move your stuff to Maine or Rhode Island and then drive the Uhaul down to Washington DC and turn it in. Never turn it in in the city that you are really living in. LOL Disappearing is very easy. Like when you change your name, as soon as someone runs your new name for credit, no record will be found right? Well when no record is found, it creates a new record with that new name. Did you know that? Trust me. It works. hahahaha Now don't do it too many places to begin with. Then you should buy a prepaid credit card and load up some cash on it. Again stay under the $10,000.00 mark or else they will report you to the IRS. hahahaha Another flaw in this movie was when Sean broke into the DMV to find the forms that were filed there when people bought new cars. The DMV is gonna have cameras and an alarm system. There is no way, some Joe Dirt is gonna be able to break in and steal paperwork. Those files would have been locked away and probably wouldn't have still been in paper form anyway. I am sure that the DMV would have scanned those in as they came into the office. Why keep a whole bunch of paper around when you can scan the document and then discard it.

Anyway, if you like good acting and a fairly good plot, you'll love this movie too. And if you like eye candy, Chris Hemsworth takes off his shirt a couple of times in the movie. Very sexy. Yum Yum!!! hahahahaha
