Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wordiezett So much average

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Predrag This true story revolves around unemployed dock worker Joey Coyle (played by John Cusack) who implausibly yet miraculously happens to find 1.2 million dollars in unmarked bills on a roadside which has fallen off the back of a security truck. He is then faced with the choice of returning the money or keeping it for himself. The plot recounts his foiled attempts to hide, spend and launder the money through the local mob... and to win back his ambitious and beautiful ex-girlfriend.Even John Cusack's excellent acting ability can't save this movie. If I'm understanding correctly, this story is "based on" a true event. Man finds 2 bags of one-hundred dollar bills that have fallen from an armored truck, (total of 1.2 million dollars) and decides to keep the money. Whereupon he sets about throwing money around, even after a TV newscaster reports that police are looking for anyone who is spending a lot of hundred-dollar-bills. In one scene, he passes out money to strangers on the street. This mental midget tells practically everyone he knows about his good luck, deals with criminals in an effort to "launder" the money, and naturally, criminals being what they are, they cheat him by taking $600,000 in greenbacks and trying to give bags of nickels in return. Given this character's goal of keeping all the money and living a sumptuous life, there seemed to be nothing too ignorant for him to do in the process of defeating his own purpose. Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

Superunknovvn "Money For Nothing" is a watchable little movie, but nothing spectacular. How could it be really, when it's based on a premise that's not particularly interesting in the first place? A guy finds some money and the police is looking for the money. There you go.The real reason to watch this is the amazing cast, which wasn't very well known yet in 1993 when this movie was made. Michael Madsen, Benicio Del Toro, Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Gandolfini all in one movie, that's really a treat. The shining light, however, is the leading star himself. This may not be John Cusack's best movie, but it may very well be his best performance."Money For Nothing" suffers a bit from the fact that it can't decide whether it wants to be a drama, a crime story or a comedy. Still, it makes for an enjoyable viewing. Catch it, if it's on TV.

Mickey Knox What would you do if you'd accidentally find 1.2 million dollars? Take it, although it's illegal and the whole police will be on your trail? Or return it, get a 20.000 dollars reward, but live patiently, with no problems? That's the theme of the movie and the lucky guy that finds the money is John Cusack. Worth to watch, but still too simple plot (it's a theme that could've lead to great situations), predictable ending, poor acting and not tensed at all. Vote: 5 out of 10.

merk214 This movie made about as much money in its theatrical release as Joey Coyle found in the road. And that's a damn shame. (I was 1 of the few people who saw it the weekend it opened and closed) While it's not a great movie, there are so many talented actors in it, and the story is so sadly compelling that all I can do is say watch it.
