Where the Money Is Reviews
It's not a great film, and Road to Perdition will probably be remembered as Newman's best work from this period, but it just goes to show you how essential actors like him really were.

Newman is always at his best portraying slightly disreputable characters such as Hud, Butch Cassidy and Fast Eddie Felson. Where the Money Is proves there's plenty of life in the old (75) boy yet.

Perhaps its final part is solved too easily, but there's a huge attractive in the fact that both characters get their way and continue their criminal work. [Full review in Spanish]

Paul Newman's charismatic performance elevates this hodgepodge of a picture, but it is not enough.
| Original Score: C | Jun 19, 2011
Decent movie that pushes the PG-13 envelope.

The money of the film's title should refer to Paul Newman, because the actor's presence elevates this routine caper into a pleasantly bankable diversion.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2002
Newman and Fiorentino steal cash -- and scenes -- in amiable heist comedy.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 7, 2002
A sly, smooth, extremely enjoyable caper... full of scenes you want to get lost in.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 4, 2002
For all the film's jauntiness (actually, because of it), it merely depresses.
| Jun 18, 2002
For its first half this plays like a character-driven, antiestablishment caper of the 1960s and '70s. As the story progresses, the characters turn rotten. When the establishment is more appealing than the maverick heroes, something has gone wrong.

USA Films and director Marek Kanievska should be congratulated. They've done what thirty-odd years and countless films couldn't: make Paul Newman uninteresting.
| Original Score: D | Oct 24, 2001
The film misfires because of its weak script, lack of punch to its comedy, and the plot was too incredible to believe or become absorbed in.
| Original Score: C- | Oct 4, 2001
Plodding, dull and endless at a short 89 minutes.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 18, 2001
