This is a copycat style from Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas and Mean Streets. This is the worst crime genre film.

It wouldn't be so bad if the story wasn't so tediously moralistic... and it's a true story, so? It didn't need to be shot!

At least it had somewhat of a good. Soundtrack. Furlong adds a little spice as a bad guy for like 5 mins in the start of it. But most of the plot is all about a man who wants to do good but just doesnt. He can't seem to get away from all the crap that people keep serving him. It's not horrible it's just not excellent. It's just good enough to be ok.

Hollywood Reporter

Although 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.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

An attempted Scorsese-esque crime epic that too often feels like an underdeveloped outline.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

It decelerates into an unremarkable good-guys-vs.-bad-guys tale that ends in a glaringly tension-free showdown.

Rated: 1.5/5

Shared Darkness

Viewers have traveled this road of criminal menace before, only this time it's peppered with more exclamations of 'L'chaim!'
