“Mad Money” a frustrating caper
 

On paper (no pun intended), this movie looks like it would be great… the concept is cool – stealing money that technically no longer exists and the cast is pretty good… but then they actually made this movie.   I’m not saying its horrible… because its not, but… its not great either… there are just too many issues dragging it down.
