Hard Cash

With a cast including Christian Slater and Val Kilmer, you might expect this to be a humdinger of a caper, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. The script was poorly written and the director seemed unable to decide how serious to take it all...the actors mostly floundered about without a clue. As a fan of both actors, I was most disappointed with this effort.

this movie is terrible. i rented it because it had three "name" stars (slater, kilmer & hannah) what a waste of casting, time, money, dialogue, crumby special effects, stupid & inane plot twists--- those are the highlights of this miserable excuse for a "heist, caper flick". as the viewer , you dont care about any of this cast of goofs. the 10 year old kid is a inane angle. the plot twists are not logical, they are stupid (but i already said that) these people owe the viewing public an apology.

The film wasn't much good but what got me really distracted was Sofia (Bulgaria) trying to look like New York. Another sign that there was not much money to back this project (otherwise they would have at least tried Toronto). Of course it doesn't look as NY at all, for the whole movie I was trying to guess where in the world it was filmed (I guessed rightly that it was in Europe). Slater and Hannah definitely deserve something better than this cliché' full of scenes already seen in other not so great films. Certainly they aren't the best actors around but their and others' performances are what keeps together this lame attempt of a film.

This is one of the worst films that I have ever watched. I rented it because I had faith in Slater and Kilmer - I was disappointed. The plot started out ok but quickly went sour. Same with the acting. The funniest part was the boating sequence. Ever watch a movie where people are in a car and the make-believe background is whipping around behind them in the rear window while they make stupid movements behind the wheel ? Picture it in a boat. Save your money, save your time. Ignore this movie.

It was really bad. I was so disappointed! It has Christian Slater and Balthazar Getty, two of my most favorite actors, and I was really excited to see this, I thought it was be cool, it wasn't. I tried to convince myself that it was good because of the actors in it, but alas, there was not too much that was good about it. I saw it on USA and not on HBO or whatever it was on, so I think that all the massive editing of the film probably wrecked it even more. There was a lot of swearing edited out and its not at all realistic for a bank robber about to arrested to say "lets get the freak outta here!" So... I think the movie was probably a littel better viewed unedited, but I don't know how much that helped. I wanted to like it but it was pretty worthless. Daryl Hannah is the worst actress ever... how she ever gets cast in anything, I will never know. So I wouldn't bother with this movie, if you like the actors in it(Slater, Getty or Kilmer) rent another one of their movies, cause this one sucks.
