An attempted Scorsese-esque crime epic that too often feels like an underdeveloped outline.
Top CriticAlthough it's doubtful that film fans walk around lamenting the dearth of Israeli characters in gangster movies, For the Love of Money nonetheless attempts to fill the gap.
It decelerates into an unremarkable good-guys-vs.-bad-guys tale that ends in a glaringly tension-free showdown.
This dollar-store version of a Scorsese crime saga, "For the Love of Money" is consistently as trite as its title.
A film that can't quite capitalize on the big names it has in relatively small roles.
Viewers have traveled this road of criminal menace before, only this time it's peppered with more exclamations of 'L'chaim!'
Looks to ape Scorsese but can only muster Corman.
