Paul Newman may not be the freshest face in Hollywood, but he’s far from

over the hill.

How many movies out there can keep the audience on the edge of their seat

panting with excitement over what will happen next? How many films can do

all that with only character development and plot – minus the big

explosions and special effects? Probably not many, but the new film

Where the Money Is meets this difficult feat in style.

Henry Manning (Newman) is an ex-bank robber who has recently been

transferred to a nursing home following a stroke. Nurse Carol McKay (Linda

Fiorentino), is assigned to take care of him. McKay discovers Manning’s

intriguing past and convinces him to help her steal a little money.

Although the “bank robbers” theme is very common, Where the Money Is

manages to add a few new twists to this theme and keep it very

interesting.

The film may not have the Hollywood hype and special effects to which many

other films presently owe their success – but it contains some of the best

acting to grace the screen in a quite a while. Newman gives a superb

performance as he plays opposite Linda Fiorentino (Men In Black). The

two have great on-screen chemistry together and virtually make the

characters they portray come to life.

Where the Money Is gets an A+ for story and six out of five stars for

acting. Anyone who enjoys a good story and not those mindless one-liner

films should go out for this one.
