Money Kills

About This Movie

So, Money Kills is this gritty Hong Kong film that really tries to peel back the layers on crime and the moral dilemmas surrounding money. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that kind of adds to its raw, almost chaotic vibe. I wouldn't say the performances are award-winning, but they have a certain authenticity that captures the desperation of the characters. You'll find some practical effects that, while not always perfect, contribute to that grimy atmosphere the film is going for. It's distinctive in how it portrays the underbelly of society without sugarcoating anything. Definitely not your typical crime flick, that's for sure.

Money Kills has a bit of a murky history in terms of availability, which might pique the interest of collectors. It’s not widely released on standard formats, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for those limited editions or rare finds. The scarcity adds to its allure, making it a curiosity for those who appreciate the depth of Hong Kong cinema. There's definitely a niche audience for it, especially among fans of lesser-known works from that era.
