This French movie, directed by Eric Besnard, is something different from the French movies I like to watch. But I couldn't put it in a category of bad movies... it was like a French version of "Ocean's 11", showing off the beautiful French coast and stunning French women in equal proportions.
"Cash" starts off easy,
with a slick, handsome conman, Cash, who lays some bad fake money on a few gangsters, then moves on to fleece a rich art investor, as well as seduce his beautiful, shapely daughter, played by the ravishing Alice Taglioni. Once another group of swindlers enters the game, as well as a nosy policewoman, things get complicated -fast.
This film has everything: luxurious seaside resorts, expensive European cars and dresses that somehow make the female body seem even more naked. Jean Reno in this film has a role of Maxime Dubreuil and he showed everyone why is he so popular with his natural acting. I think that it is a good film but for the wrong market. Europeans will definitely enjoy it more; Australian market is a little bit different. For me (I love French movies) this was just an average work of art, nothing special.
