Hard cash or Run for the Money which i believe was the USA title, is basically another one last heist movie. Christian Slater is the leader of his crew and after being busted for a botched robbery is released from prison looking to make one last score. He encounters problems when the money that is ripped off is FBI money and is then coerced by bad FBI agent Cornell played by Val KIlmer to pull one more heist job for him. The movie is pretty predictable, the action scenes are basically low budget and painfully fake when it comes to the actor's scenes and the script was pretty average. It's dissapointing that a cast with Val Kilmer, Christian Slater, Darryl Hannah, and Bookeem Woodbine ended up in such a dissapointing movie, with that cast and a decent movie this is easily box office, but when you see it you see why it was a tv movie that would've been straight video.

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.

Innept and boring action flick in which an ex-con (Slater) with some strange partners (including Miss Hannah in a lame performance) pull out an audacious robbery but are mistreat by a corrupt FBI agent (Kilmer). Senseless and vulgar, this movie is a real example of the bad influences within the late productions of America cinema. Hard to watch in every way with a ridiculous ending that agravatted the final result. I give this a 03 (three).

So bad it's actually quite good fun says it all really. Some of the scenes could actually be from a spoof movie. If you accept it's not going to be a great (or even good) film, it is OK - good for late on the weekend after a few beers.

You do have to wonder how Kilmer and Slater, though admittedly hardly at the peak of their careers, got involved in this. Either the script never got read, or both actors have no scruples when it comes to making a fast buck - it certainly won't have done anybodys career prospects any good. I hope they were well paid because I can't believe this film made any money.

Crack another beer, relax, and laugh, (or cry). Don't say I didn't warn you...

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.
