Although I'm a big fan of movies with plot twists, there are occasions where these can go too far, to the point of negating everything that went on before and telling you that everything you just watched was a big lie. The 2003 film "Basic" falls into that category, and "Ca$h" follows the same path. The good side of this is that the film is almost entirely unpredictable; the bad side is that the whole incredibly elaborate plan of the true mastermind(s) at the end relies on the victim(s) doing EXACTLY what they are expected to do - one "wrong" move, and the whole plan would go to ruins. If you can live with that, the film is good-looking fluff; Valeria Golino, with a new, sophisticated hairstyle, looks as if she hasn't aged a day since "Hot Shots" back in the early 90's, and Alice Taglioni is sexy & tricky.
