Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lawrence O'TooleIt’s just Paul and Lee hanging out, playing off each other beautifully, every exchange of dialogue a gloveless, effortless toss ‘n’ catch, sparkling under Laszlo Kovacs’ sun-kissed cinematography.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Stuart ByronA fragmented, far from‐great movie, and it won't change cinema history, but in its own odd fashion it celebrates humdrum lives without ever resorting to patronizing artifice.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertA couple of good jokes and a superior performance by Martin are all that distinguish this feeble attempt at capturing the same audience who loved Newman in BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. Rosenberg's direction is pedestrian.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill WFabulous cast and script by Terrance Malick. A great laid bad story, the kind you don't see Hollywood making anymore. One of my favorites.
User Review - 10/10 by hugh pPocket Money is a remarkable, wonderful film. I cable-TV ran across it several years ago and watched it two or three times - and loved it -- before it seemed to vanish into the mists of time. Recently doing a web search trying to find a copy, I ran across the RT mention. Much to my surprise RT listed the script as being written by Terrence Malick, who has made several of my most favorite pictures. The dialogue - the chemistry - between Newman and Marvin is deliciously clever, and the overall TexMex texture of the movie is thick and rich, and rings entirely authentic. This is not a movie for clods; rather, one for appreciators of nuanced, genuine art.
User Review - 8/10 by Carl HThe book was good, movie is better. Paul Newman wasn't well cast IMHO...but Lee Marvin makes up for it with one of his best roles. "In the meantime, you ain't got no dignity". Love the soundtrack and some nice cinematrophy.
User Review - 8/10 by Gump CI really enjoyed this ... Lee Marvin and Paul Newman made a great odd couple.
User Review - 6/10 by James H5.5/5.0. Great cinematography, a good performance from Lee Marvin are the highlights of this modern western. It?s unusual, but it?s very bland and has way too many slow stretches. Rather talky for a western.
User Review - 6/10 by Jason COdd but pleasant film written by Terrence Malick. It doesn't achieve the poetic beauty that a lot of his work as director does, but it's interesting nonetheless. Both leads give unusual performance and Stuart Rosenberg's direction, with cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs, create a nice atmosphere for this contemporary western.
User Review - 4/10 by Jack GMan, I wasted a lot of people's time to get this review up. Most of all mine. So, if you've been reading and re-reading my reviews, you should remember when I was plowing through the Warner Brother's Paul Newman Signature Collection. I couldn't stop ranting and raving about that set. After all, it had all these pretty great movies that I had barely heard of. Well, I always wanted to balance those glowing reviews with Pocket Money. Pocket Money is kind of a lame movie that has almost no coherence whatsoever. And to think that I made some poor Flixster employees make a page for this film. But I get to be the first review, so that's something. The good part about this film is the cast. Paul Newman and Lee Marvin on a screen together? I nearly lost it when I saw the cover for this DVD. I mean, Paul Newman, we decided, was great, but Lee "F*cking" Marvin? (People call him "F*cking" as a nickname. I can't help that.) Lee Marvin makes a movie badass. Well, I quickly discovered, that only counts when he's playing a badass. Yeah, the performances are fine. But I cannot stress enough how this movie has little to no throughline. We see an honest man down on his luck who knows he's gonna get screwed... ...and he gets screwed. Really? I had to watch the entire film just to get that moment confirmed. Also, this movie really tries to be somewhat of a comedy but the laughs are just forced. I know both actors can deliver some absolutely great jokes, but not when the jokes are poorly written. I honestly don't know where to file this movie in terms of genre. There's just very little redeeeming it. It's got some pretty pictures and if you are a big fan of Mexico, there might be something here for you. But otherwise, this movie just comes in pretty flat. It's also really hard to review this movie after-the-fact because I remember being so disappointed right at the time. But thank you, kind souls at Flixster. I'm sorry I made you put in a movie that is really kind of blah.
