This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
this movie is by far one of her better works. its exciting and a bit unpredictible! which is far to say than many of her inferiour works (ravager) also this movie has great lighting. as far as the other acting matt is less than perfect and plays up th nerd concept way too much. if anything just see this for yancy. its killer so is she.
Fast Money is a great action movie with a mediocre script but great action scenes. If you're into car chases, big explosions, gunfights and explosive women, this is the movie to watch on a summer's night.Beautiful and highly strung Yancy Butler steals the show as a professional car thief, when she inadvertently bumps into straight laced Matt McCoy's investigative reporter. When "going to get a car" (i.e., stealing one), she happens to break into the wheels of Trevor Goddard's Regy, a violent criminal in the employ of a developer who wants to finance his enterprise with counterfeit money. With a stupidity only matched by his violence, Regy leaves both two false plates and 2,7 million dollars lying in his car, and guess what, Yancy Butler's Francesca (Frank) has the bonus of her lifetime. They get pursued by both Regy and John Ashton's corrupt cop, Lt. Diego. Ashton (Taggert in Beverly Hills I & II) and Goddard make a fine comical pair of crooks. Always nice to see how the bad guys are getting more dialogue after Pulp Fiction.In all, this is not a great movie, the script can be clunky, but the action is hot, and since Drop Zone, I admit to being a die hard Yancy Butler fan.Don't hold your expectations too high, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I admit that I didn't have many expectations from this movie: I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but just an ordinary, violent action movie, which also happened to have Yancy Butler starring in it(and that's even better.)And that was all I got. So I suggest this movie to all action movie fans and also to Yancy Butler fans, like I am. You're definitely going to like it.
