Henry Manning (Paul Newman) has come up with a new way to break out of prison: fake a stroke and get transferred to a nursing home. It's a perfect plan, except for one thing: the woman assigned to take care of him at the nursing home, Carol Ann McKay (Linda Fiorentino), has a plan of her own.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The acting in Where the Money Is is excellent. However, the movie feels like a made-for-TV movie that's plain and forgettable.

Bob Thomas Associated Press Newman is always at his best portraying slightly disreputable characters such as Hud, Butch Cassidy and Fast Eddie Felson. Where the Money Is proves there's plenty of life in the old (75) boy yet. Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Decent movie that pushes the PG-13 envelope. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Apr 25, 2003 Full Review Nick Johnston Vanyaland It's not a great film, and Road to Perdition will probably be remembered as Newman's best work from this period, but it just goes to show you how essential actors like him really were. Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof Perhaps its final part is solved too easily, but there's a huge attractive in the fact that both characters get their way and continue their criminal work. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 13, 2017 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Paul Newman's charismatic performance elevates this hodgepodge of a picture, but it is not enough.

Steve D Newman makes it a lot of fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member tedious bore which wasn't funny, dramatic, exiting or even bland. all three of the leads are actors i like, but not in this stump water. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A great caper movie with the absolutely adorable Linda Fiorentino and still cute as an old man Paul Newman. It's funny and fun, with some wit and a little action. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Kay W It's worth seeing. Very tense. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/20 Full Review Audience Member Fun. And Paul Newman. 'nuff said Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
