As I watched the preview of this movie, I thought to myself, it seems that the USA Network is attempting to change their image. Wanting to air good programming instead of the drivel it usually slings to the viewers, trying to compete with the big 3 and HBO, TNT, and even ESPN now. They picked up Val Kilmer, Christian Slater and Daryl Hannah to do a made for TV show.on USA Network! The trailer was good - looked like it was made for TV, but it seemed to have a decent story. Seemed is the key word here. I later found out through research on this PHENOMENAL website that this movie was made in 2001 under the name 'Hard Cash' and the name changed to its current. Everything about this movie was horrible. Val, Christian and Daryl must have lost some kind of a bet to appear in this movie. The directing was bad, the editing was bad, the acting was bad. It was so bad, it missed the theaters and missed video too. It is one thing to get shoved into the category of 'Straight to Video', but do you know how bad a movie has to be to fall into the 'No Theater and No Video' category? I laughed one time though. This is very difficult to get me to do. I give the credit to the big car chase scene. The horribly projected backgrounds didn't even match what the driver was doing. It looked like the scene in Airplane! when Robert Stack and the young guy were driving to the airport. The only difference is that 'Airplane!' was supposed to be like that.funny. 'Run for the Money' was anything but funny. I can sit through any movie, regardless of how bad it is or how boring it is. It took everything I had not to change the channel. This movie has moved into my top worst movies of all time, sharing the list with 'Yor, the Hunter from the Future', 'Food of the Gods', 'Night of the Lepus' and various episodes of 'T.J. Hooker'. Someone call Guinness, USA Network just set the world record for giant leaps backward.
