Baby Money

It's quite exciting and tense after 20 mins. I didn't get the title of movie n should call either "invasion" or "mother force". Other than that, quite unexpected.

This movie was action packed from the get go. Very creative opening credit scene and then, bam! Off and running. Performances by the entire cast were spot on. Danay Garcia (Minny)was phenomenal in her role as a tough girl on the outside, but portrayed the sweet, caring mother on the inside. This is definitely a must watch!

I sat down to watch the 2021 thriller "Baby Money" primarily because the movie had Danay Garcia on the cast list. But of course, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to sit down and watch it.

And I will say that writers Mikhael Bassilli and MJ Palo actually managed to put together a storyline that actually proved entertaining. Sure, this wasn't a movie that revolutionized the thriller genre in any way, but it proved to be enjoyable and watchable.

The storyline is pretty straight forward, and while not really offering anything much new to the thriller genre, the writers had managed to construct the storyline in a way that it was actually entertaining. And "Baby Money" made for a fair watch.

"Baby Money" is driven by equal parts storyline and character gallery. I found the characters in the movie to be interesting and actually have enough contents to them to prove interesting. And that definitely counted for something in this movie.

The movie doesn't have a large cast ensemble, but that was actually not an issue, because the actors and actresses in the movie put on good performances. I will say that the lead performers Danay Garcia, Michael Drayer, Joey Kern and Taja V. Simpson actually carried the movie well with their performances and were good at bringing their characters to life on the screen.

While "Baby Money" is a watchable thriller, I feel that it is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, as the movie just doesn't seem to have the contents to it to support more than just a single viewing.

My rating of directors Mikhael Bassilli and Luc Walpoth's movie lands on a six out of ten stars.

From the captivating opening scene and credits, Baby Money pulls you in quickly and does not disappoint. Uma Kapila's score sets the tone for this thrilling ride that holds its pace till the final scene, aided by compelling performances by the cast. Taja V. Simpson, in particular, is phenomenal in her role as Heidi.

Directors Mikhael Bassilli and Luc Walpoth clearly have their finger on the pulse. Looking forward to seeing more of their work!

I wasn't expecting such a nail biter! Thrilling from start to finish with a very believable story.

Pregnant Minny is a getaway driver for her boyfriend and his gang who are taking part in a house burglary that goes horribly wrong. They get separated during the crime and Minny has no way of getting to the robbers when they get surrounded by the police. I don't want to elaborate or give away any spoilers because it would spoil the surprises for anyone considering watching the movie.

Crucial for any good movie, the performances were superb! With very likeable characters and plenty of reasons to be routing for the 2 main females this film will have you on the edge of your seat. I have watched many similar themed movies before but I regard this one as the best.

I have to say I had not heard of Danay Garcia prior to watching this but I am looking forward to seeing her in future productions.

Considering the fact that I wasn't expecting too much I was pleasantly VERY surprised. I gave a 10/10 because I can't see how the story could have been told or filmed any better. It has plenty of atmosphere and excellent cinematography. Give it a try...
