Gianluca R @rei_lex Jun 8 Life changes in a blink of an eye, a single error will be worth a whole destiny, that's the story of "Money". The harshest prison makes you a different human being, never too late for redemption, even if the price is the highest. Great acting of Coster-Waldeau. See more Bram S @RedDuelist Jun 1 Guilt, power, and transformation going through this movie like a train wreck. The ending and the way there is not what you'll think will happen; it starts with simple guilt, coercion, and trying to stay alive for ones family. You see how others become victims and the protagonist does everything to stay alive, but it still costs him in the end. The movie has no happy ending, but it sure does call on a lot of emotions. Not every role was as strong as Nikolaj's as the protagonist, but the classic crime setting is there and it ends with betrayal.

See more Balla S @Sigmundo Nov 8 I agree with the rave reviews here. I don't know if the prisons in the US are remotely like that portrayed in the film, or how realistic it all is, but in this case I couldn't care less. Marvellously well acted by all, it had me glued to my seat from the get go. I would have given it a 5, but then I'm afraid the actors and directors will give up having accomplished the ultimate score!! See more Justin G. @therealjgreens Nov 5 Nikolaj Coster-Waldau immerses himself in his character, showcasing a remarkable transformation throughout the movie. His character’s demeanor shifts significantly, reflecting the film’s exploration of compelling themes. The film emphasizes how people become products of their environment, even when they resist it. Despite knowing the long-term consequences, it’s often necessary for immediate survival. Jacob’s transformation highlights the harsh reality of adapting to survive in the present, regardless of social or financial status. The instinct to protect family motivates this transformation. The film also delves into the lengths fathers go for their family’s betterment. Coster-Waldau’s character realized he had crossed a line into becoming “Money” and couldn’t revert to his former self. He had to continue down his chosen path. The film explores the extent to which the human brain is willing to achieve a set goal. It underscores the consequences of choices and the fact that no one is above the law. Prison can break almost anyone, even lifers, drastically altering their lives. See more Read all reviews
