This was filmed in 2015 but it's clear that Jesse Williams was forced on this production at the last minute and squeezed into filming in under a week for the money. Money for the movie and money for Jesse. The rest of the casting is a shambles; meat puppet Kellan Lutz as a chemical engineer and chief scientist at a pharma firm? Christina the chain smoking Spanish girlfriend? Poofy Brit with a gun? Sylvia the aggrieved WASP? Oh my god what a train wreck. 2 healthy strong men can't overpower one guy as he sits with a drink in hand, pontificating? Wives and dates seemingly utterly unaffected by mind bending violence and no one questions it?

The setup is promising: two young big pharma executives have just sold their company's trade secrets to a rival for a cool $5 million. Their celebration however, proves to be premature. A man posing as the next door neighbor has a different plan for the money. This is a good setup for what is in essence a psychological thriller, involving 5 characters and a gun. However, despite good performances by all actors in this film (standing out is Jesse Williams with his very credible performance as a coke sniffing jerk), the plot has just too many twists and turns, pushing the boundaries of plausibility and eroding its credibility to the point where it seems artificially contrived and somewhat predictable. To begin with, the main antagonist, played by Jamie Bamber, is a villain who could also pass for James Bond with his suave look and British mannerism. He also knows too many intimate details about his heist victims, something which is never explained in the movie plot. And talking about a movie plot, there are just too many plot holes to count and sheer implausibility bordering on ridiculous, like the recurring "easily escapable situation" (as Austin Powers would put it), which opens the door for the twists. Money is no Agatha Christie but in the end it is however a watchable movie and reasonable entertainment with its main strength coming from its cast. Bring your popcorn, don't think too much, and you may end up having a good time.

There is not an extra word or an extra shot in Money. Everything is brilliantly calculated to take the audience on a smooth ride. There are no explosions or fireworks in here. It's all about humans making choices and making mistakes based on their darkest ambitions. I enjoyed very much the performances and how the script can flip the circumstances upside down in just a second. There is some kind of seductive coldness in this film. It didn't make me care particularly for any of the characters. Instead I was fascinated watching their actions and decisions. The film kept me intrigued until the very end. The premise is simple yet the unfolding is quite elegant and believable. I recommend this film to anyone that likes smart thrillers that rely on human psychology.

Great movie with impeccable dramatic development. From the presentation of the characters to their arrival to the house until the development of the past of each of them within it, the story is provoking in the viewers a continuous change of reference point and, therefore, fixation of your interest. Excellent management work of actors who manage to set the tone for each of the personal stories of each and an almost perfect casting for each of the roles. The film, whose development does not leave indifferent to the spectators by its continuous change of point of view of the history on the part of each one of its personages, ends of surprise form presenting / displaying a worthy end of the whole history.
