Money Talks

About This Movie

So, 'Money Talks' takes you to this gritty, raw New York City right as Reagan steps into power. The film's got this unique vibe, with that late '70s to early '80s aesthetic. It’s not just about the money; it captures the essence of the city’s underbelly, showing how a simple $100 bill can crisscross lives, influencing everyone from hustlers to everyday folks. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, letting you soak in the atmosphere. Practical effects ground it in reality, making those street scenes pop. The performances? They feel authentic, kind of like you’re peeking into a world most of us don't really see. Definitely a distinctive take on the cash and chaos theme. It doesn't hold back on the social commentary either.
