For the Love of Money

8/22/2023

This movie is like being told a story by someone who, somewhere along the way, forgot what story he was actually telling and just starts talking about every interesting thing that may have happened in his life. It's like 3 episodes of a based on a true story Jewish-mafia miniseries that is just so-so. Specifically the scene where Abe first meets Aline and they have their little date in the car. The car they are sitting in is hoisted off the ground and I do not see a cable button for it. Which means they both got in the car with their drinks and Yoni (his cousin) lifted them up for this. Which, beyond just the huge cringe factor of that moment, really demonstrate the kind of relationship these cousins have. No one can deny that James Caan was in this movie.
