This film does feature quite a few cliches but its also really quite gripping at times and reasonably fast paced. The story isnt original but I think it did well to highlight how quickly people can change when large amounts of money suddenlyThis film does feature quite a few cliches but its also really quite gripping at times and reasonably fast paced. The story isnt original but I think it did well to highlight how quickly people can change when large amounts of money suddenly appear. There's one character who you may think has a strong sense of paranoia, although I could almost understand that considering the circumstances. Some of the details seem pretty unlikely but I found it overall a somewhat unsettling, thought provoking watch, which is by no means perfect. It tackles issues such as trust, power, greed and, as I say, paranoia (or is it? you'll have to watch the film to find out). It is perhaps a cheesy and predictable, although, however, one of the final scenes I found both quite upsetting and moving. Overall its an interesting enough watch to be worth seeing if you come across it, although I'm not sure I'd recommend going out of your way to see it as such.… Expand
