All About the Money

The makers of this movie might have gotten a little inspiration from the 1981 movie "High Risk", though this movie is played more for laughs and does go in its own direction eventually. But the movie doesn't really work with whatever angle you view it in. More often that not it has a somewhat mean-spirited tone, with graphic violence and a hostile attitude that make it hard to embrace the movie as a whole. That includes the humor as well. While there are a few mildly amusing jokes here and there, the humor as a whole seems written, performed, and directed by angry people. The script also has problems beyond the uncomfortable attempts at humor. There are a number of moments in the movie where linking footage (or entire scenes) seem to be missing, leaving a number of plot points quite confusing. It's all topped by a very obvious low budget, making the entire package come across as a cheap quickie. Watch "High Risk" instead.

Not a great story and not a great script. Relies heavily on profanity, tripping, stupidity and chicks with dicks to get the laughs (and there are a few sprinkled throughout) but overall there are better ways to spend 90 minutes. Watch as a last resort or when you need to get off to sleep.

Did casper van dien even read the script before accepting this? He had a pretty big hit in starship troopers in 1997, but made a real mix of good ones and clunkers after that. Blake freeman wrote, directed, and acts in this, and it's not usually a good sign when the same person does all that. Lots of stereotype jokes, and talk of racism. Chris, vince, and kurt take a trip to colombia to claim the reward for bringing in a drug lord. They aren't even sure where colombia is. Clearly they are in way over their heads! Low budget. Cheesy script. The story itself isn't bad, but it's just not that fun to watch. Many, many stoner jokes. You'll recognize danny trejo! With his rugged looks, he's in every drug and mafia movie made. The fighting in the center part actually isn't bad. But the beginning and the ending are just silly. It looks like they rented a mansion in los angeles for a week to film this. Entertaining.. i guess.

An American action comedy; A story about three American guys who venture to Columbia with the aim of capturing America's most wanted criminal for a dollar reward. The film starts well, establishing the characters, and there are several instances of genuine amusement. Unfortunately, it then descends into a cramming of drug-addled inaneness, racial crudeness and silly, predictable encounters with dangerous criminals showing no real menace. It transforms from funny buddy comedy to juvenile caper.

This comedy would have been much better without Blake Freeman in the cast. He should have stuck to directing.
