Good guy Victor immediately wants to turn it in, knowing that no good can come of bags of money found in the woods. In a nod to the long history of fiction and films in which money divides unions-the film is reportedly loosely inspired by “ The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” believe it or not-Jeff, Lynn and Victor have a tough time agreeing on what do with the found fortune. Far more interesting is the criminal Miller ( John Cusack), who’s dressed like a “Metallica groupie” and looking for the millions of dollars he just stole, parachuting with it out of a plane D.B. The dialogue alternates between unbelievable and moronic, and the actors don’t do enough to make this trio of idiots easy to root for.
Sadly, most of this early character exposition is clunky and inconsistent. The three are old friends but Jeff is “with” Lynn now, although they’re trying to keep that a secret from Victor, who may or may not have a crush on Lynn.
Victor ( Ellar Coltrane of “ Boyhood”), Jeff ( Jacob Artist) and Lynn ( Willa Fitzgerald) are going on a rafting trip but bringing enough baggage with them to sink their boat. The final 20 minutes of this B-movie reveal why a few talented people were interested in making it, but it’s too little too late by that point, especially since most people who watch this at home will have moved on to something else anyway. For an hour, Lucky McKee’s “Blood Money” is aggressively annoying, the kind of film with no likable or believable characters, and one of those cheap VOD flicks in which it feels like everyone was there purely for the paycheck.
