Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

goopi83 I went into this movie not expecting it to be great. Actually, I was expecting it be horrible, based on the all the reviews I had read. But I actually had a lot of fun with this. I will say that apart from the price of having Slater and Kilmer in your movie, this movie probably didn't cost that much to make. The story focuses on Slater, who has just gotten out of prison and is coming home to see his girlfriend and daughter. He gets involved in a heist, but it goes bad when an FBI agent (Kilmer) holds his daughter for ransom if he doesn't do what he wants. Apart from that, the people he pulled the heist with want their money too. There's also a Russian mobster, who is absolutely hilarious. The movie keeps you in suspense, with good action scenes and mediocre car chases. There are a few plots in the movie, which is why it gets a 6 instead of a 7.

one_madrak How could a movie with Val Kilmer AND Christian Slater go so wrong? It starts out strong with a clever theft plan, but then the plan AND the movie sort of fall apart (although the theft scenes are fun to watch). Both Val and Christian bring their usual acting skills to bear, but their characters are not well written, so we end up not really caring what happens to them. The dialog is weak for most of the movie, with no really memorable lines, and there are a number of poorly supported plot twists, such as the cuckolding and betrayal among a trio of secondary characters and the sudden death of another secondary character (the circumstances surrounding his death are somewhat ambiguous, which only further weakens the movie). Add to this a collection of clichés (such as Christian Slater's casting aside the stolen money because his daughter doesn't want him to be a thief anymore), and you have a movie which leaves the viewer feeling unimpressed and cheated out of the time it took to watch.

fetter89 I bought Hard Cash at Wal-Mart for only $4.99. I noticed both Slater and Kilmer were in this film. With paying only $4.99, i wasn't expecting much. I was surely wrong. Sure the car chases are lame but i enjoyed the plot, comedy, and different twists. Both the opening robbery and the "Big Heist" are enjoyable, funny, and clever. The ending also could have been much better. The movie was almost a amazing movie until the end. Since i only payed 5 bucks for Hard Cash, i will have to say it gets a 7/10 in my view. It is definitely overlooked and underrated especially for 5 bucks. If you find it for this price, get it, but anymore than that i would just rent it first.

Miiikal Liked to laugh at Evil Dead II? This is also a very "suitable" twisted movie for those late video nights with the buddies, some beer and snacks when girlfriends are elsewhere...
