Which does count for something for an otherwise stale and mediocre movie experience. Personally I didn't like the Lynn character very much, but I must admit that the ending to the movie was actually fairly good. You wouldn't even be missing out on anything vital to the story. The last half of the movie is where the most action takes place and where the most story development takes place, so you could essentially skip the first part of the movie and go straight there. The acting in the movie was adequate, although John Cusack was not being able to spread his creative talent out in the movie, and the character he was portraying felt somewhat too simplistic. Once you've sat through this movie once, chances are slim to none that you will ever watch this movie again. Right, well it does sound fairly interesting, except that the story was fairly poorly put to life on the screen, making this less than a mediocre movie experience. And a mysterious hiker in the woods is looking for his money. Three friends are rafting in the area, when the girl finds four bags of money, containing a staggering 8 million dollars. A plane goes down in a heavily wooded mountain area and a single parachute is spotted in the air. The storyline in "Blood Money" was fairly straight forward, albeit somewhat on the simplistic side. The only thing that I knew about the movie was the fact that John Cusack was in it, and that was the reason why I decided to watch it. While this one is engaging, it’s not the ‘rock’ you’d die for.I didn't really have any expectations to "Blood Money" when I sat down to watch it. A faster pace, more potent dialogues, not to add some more dum in Kunal’s voice, and a better background score - would have had greater impact. Debutant director, (Vishal S Mahadkar), tells the story well, though some scenes are very stretched, and tries too hard to provoke a reaction. Once again they push the bedroom threshold - a semi-erotic, steamy scene between two women - every man’s turn-on fantasy. This one has all the toppings of a ‘Bhatt shocker' - drama, emotion, tragedy and some sex.
BLOOD MONEY MOVIE SKIN
Mia Uyeda could be ‘Missing In Action’ for all it’s worth (excuse the coincidence), with skin to show and not much talent - is the honey-trap Kunal falls for. Bhatt favourite, Sandip Sikcand, as the scheming ‘blood-brother’, is not. Manish Choudhary, the big cigar-smoking boss ends every other line with ‘Superb’ (reminding of the villains of old, like Ranjeet) is impressive. She’s pleasant enough, but gets to interact more with the dining table than with husband. In the second-half, as the tale twists, his character emerges stronger, with emotions of rage, desperation and revenge well played out.Īmrita Puri plays the domesticated wife who silently suffers her husband’s wrongdoings. Kunal Khemu is convincing as a youngster with modest beginnings, who turns into a greed-obsessed man. Finally, he’s left with only two choices – sell his soul for success, or get ready for a bloodbath. The frontrunner in this crime chain being his own boss, Zaveri (Manish Chaudhuri). The one-time pizza delivery boy from Mumbai is exposed to the gory diamond mafia, traders of illegal weapons and cold-blooded criminals. His almost fairytale life with Arzoo (Amrita Puri), slowly turning into a nightmare, as he’s dragged into a diamond trap.
BLOOD MONEY MOVIE FULL
While Jim might be able to get by on his no-frills approach, Blood and Money can’t quite say the same.' My full review of Blood and Money for Brightest Young Things here.
Landing a job with a leading diamond company in Cape Town, he gets seduced by the lust of money and power. Blood and Money also tries to get by on very little, an economical tale reminiscent of a geriatric, B-movie version of a Cormac McCarthy story. Kunal (Kunal Khemu) is one such man who gets suckered in by the glitter. Movie Review: Diamonds are for never! Sometimes the dangling ‘carat’ is just a lure to trap you.
Story: A young man tries to take dreadful shortcut to success but his ambitious overdrive lands him in the underbelly of the diamond mafia.
