00:00Hello, movies in a nutshell here.
00:02Today we are doing a review of a crime thriller from 2008 called Mad Money.
00:07Before we start, pay attention to the spoilers.
00:10One night in Kansas, three women and their families are in the process of destroying a large pile of money
00:15when the police come to their house and arrest them.
00:18There is a suicide of Nina Brewster and her sons,
00:21Jackie Truman and her husband Bob Truman,
00:23and Bridgette Cartigan and her husband Don Cartigan.
00:26While Don continues to destroy the girls in the toilet,
00:29Bridgette puts the money in her bag and runs through the yard using the meat she took from the fridge
00:34to wash her neighbor's dog and come to her car completely safe.
00:38This mess started three years ago,
00:40when Bridgette attended the fun of her neighbors Mindy and Bryce Arbogast,
00:44whom she has not seen for a long time because she does not go to the club since Don lost his job a year ago.
00:49Through Mindy, Bridgette finds out that her husband is selling their house,
00:53and she rushes back and gets into a big argument with him about selling the house.
00:57Don explains how they are drowning in debts and that he is not able to find a new job because of his age,
01:03and Bridgette is even more angry at him because he did not tell her to reduce her expenses.
01:07As soon as she saw that he would not be able to do much to fix the situation,
01:11she decides to find a job for herself.
01:13This turns out to be very difficult.
01:15Bridgette was a housewife most of her life,
01:18she graduated from a comparative literature school,
01:20and she has limited knowledge of computer work, not to mention her years.
01:24After not being able to find a job in the employment agency,
01:27Bridgette tries to vote for the news, but to no avail.
01:31One afternoon, her cleaner comes to her,
01:34who complains about her salary because she did not get it again.
01:37She notices that Bridgette does not have money to pay her,
01:40and decides to give her a number of places where she can secure a job.
01:44Bridgette starts working as a cleaner in the Federal Reserve Bank.
01:48As she goes on a trip, she meets her new boss, Glover,
01:52and he tells her that the employees are under surveillance at all times,
01:55and she meets Nina, who works as a cashier.
01:58She is impressed by the various rooms that are full of money,
02:02and how much the cashiers are destroyed every day because they are old.
02:05After her working day is over, she goes home,
02:08but refuses to talk to Donna about her day because she is too tired.
02:11When she breaks her honor in the kitchen,
02:13she has no choice but to go to the market,
02:15and there she sees a lot of thugs,
02:17and slowly begins to develop a plan to steal money from the bank.
02:21The next day, she pays special attention to the positions of all the cameras
02:24and routes that control the wheels in which the money is located.
02:27There are only three keys that can open the wheels,
02:30and one of the keys is in the room for storing money,
02:33the second is with the agent who is in the room for inspection,
02:36and the third is in the room for destroying money.
02:38She also tests the morale of the workers by following
02:41whether any of them will pick up the wallet from the floor that does not belong to them,
02:45but they are all too nice and not good enough for her.
02:48However, Jackie attracts attention with her rough wheels,
02:51because she does not behave very prudently and is overloaded with music.
02:54At the end of the day, all the workers look over the bag
02:57from the guards of Barry Cobb and Shawn,
02:59which Nina throws at them.
03:01After rejecting him, she leaves the building,
03:03and Bridget comes to her and offers her crazy idea.
03:05At first, Nina thinks that she is a spy hired by the bosses,
03:09but when she realizes that Bridget is serious about robbing the bank,
03:12she rejects her and goes to her children's house.
03:14Bridget does not give up and follows her to her house
03:17and first calls her on the phone,
03:19and then goes straight to her door
03:21and tries to persuade her to join her plan.
03:23Nina rejects her and tells her to go,
03:25but still thinks about the next day
03:27when she finds a bracelet in her closet
03:29that Bridget left her to show her
03:31the school where her children could go
03:33only if Nina had money.
03:35During the break, Nina is with Bridget in the bathroom
03:38and finally accepts her offer,
03:40but only after she forbids her
03:42that nothing bad should happen,
03:44because she is just a mother's food
03:46and can not afford to lose her children.
03:48They need just one more person from the room behind the wheel,
03:50and they choose Jackie,
03:52who comes to the parking lot when he sees
03:54that her bag fell out and a syringe came out of it.
03:56They invite Jackie to a drink at the bar,
03:58whose owner is Bridget's friend Junior,
04:00who tells them to calm down
04:02because he is talking loudly about illegal plans.
04:04Jackie immediately agrees to join the team
04:06without any hesitation,
04:08and when Nina and Bridget show concern
04:10because of the syringe they saw,
04:12Bridget gives them a syringe for diabetes.
04:14They also agree on a secret sign,
04:16that is, they should touch their coat
04:18when they are ready for action.
04:20The next day, Bridget hides a new bracelet
04:22behind Nina's belt,
04:24so when she passes through the metal detector,
04:26the guards think that Nina's coat caused the reaction.
04:28During lunch, Bridget touches Nina's coat,
04:30but Jackie just waves his head.
04:32They go to the bathroom,
04:34where Jackie admits
04:36that he has a bad feeling about all this.
04:38Bridget and Nina say it's absurd
04:40and want Jackie to leave the team,
04:42but a few hours later they say goodbye
04:44because their boss, Glover,
04:46forces them to a complete security check.
04:48The next day, their plan goes just as it should.
04:50All three touch the coat
04:52and so secretly stop
04:54to continue with the plan
04:56that starts with Bridget in the inspection room.
04:58She pretends to clean the boxes
05:00in which the money is located
05:02and finds a box that is open for inspection,
05:04and stands so that with his body
05:06he hides the fact that he is exchanging a katana
05:08with the one she took from the camera.
05:10She goes to the hallway where Jackie is
05:12and tells her the number of the chosen box
05:14and also writes the number on paper
05:16that she leaves with the real katana
05:18in the trash can in the bathroom
05:20so that Nina would not find it.
05:22Jackie is in line and she is in charge
05:24of moving the box with the money around the building.
05:26She takes the box that Bridget told her
05:28and while waiting for the elevator,
05:30she positions herself so that the camera does not shoot her
05:32while opening the katana and while taking the money
05:34and puts it in the trash can
05:36as if dancing.
05:38Then she takes the box to the room
05:40for the destruction of the money
05:42where Nina puts the real katana
05:44while Bridget does her usual job
05:46and takes the money from the box
05:48hiding it among other products.
05:50The three of them later find each other
05:52in the bathroom and share the money
05:54and hide it under their clothes.
05:56At the end of the day, Bridget and Nina
05:58pass without any problems at the security
06:00but are forbidden for Jackie
06:02because a couple of students see her
06:04and the situation becomes tense
06:06when suddenly Glover comes in very angry.
06:08Fortunately, he is just angry that Bridget
06:10forgot her card and his appearance
06:12forces Jackie to look at himself a little better
06:14and finally hides the money.
06:16The three of them come to Bridget
06:18and this time they choose the money
06:20and divide it into equal parts
06:22and in the end they throw it one on the other
06:24as a sign of success.
06:26Don finds them and is not very happy
06:28because he hears that his wife is a criminal.
06:30He wants Bridget to never do something like this again
06:32and plans to double everything
06:34until they can pay off all their debts.
06:36Nina goes to school where she wants
06:38to enroll her children
06:40and Bridget and Don put the money in the bank
06:42but never deposit more than $ 9,000
06:44because then the deposit would be checked
06:46by the IRS.
06:48Don is still frustrated with the whole new criminal
06:50but he is impressed with the intelligence
06:52of his wife and they kiss each other in the car.
06:54Months pass and the three of them
06:56still steal money.
06:58Glover has not caught them yet
07:00but because he is constantly looking for his employees
07:02they always get through without any problems.
07:04Bridget returns to her house
07:06and Nina continues to pay for her children's school
07:08and everything she can afford.
07:10Six months later, the three of them
07:12together with Bob and Don go to a very expensive restaurant
07:14where they celebrate
07:16that they paid off all the debts they had.
07:18Bridget still wants to continue stealing.
07:20Jack and Bob agree
07:22but Nina and Don are against it
07:24and Bridget tells them
07:26how they are always belittled by the bosses
07:28and that Don is released after years and years of work
07:30and how Nina should have money
07:32because of the college
07:34on which her children will enroll
07:36and that Jackie should travel the world
07:38and as he mainly explains to them
07:40how important it is to be financially stable.
07:42Nina lets go and agrees to continue
07:44but under one condition
07:46and that is not to spend a lot of money
07:48because it will alarm other people.
07:50When they gather enough money, they can move somewhere else
07:52where people will not have an idea about their budget.
07:54Bridget doesn't like this
07:56and she has no other option
07:58but to accept Nina's offer
08:00because she can't continue stealing without her help.
08:02Bridget breaks her promise very quickly
08:04because she buys herself an incredibly expensive ring.
08:06But she can't deceive Nina
08:08who meets her in the toilet
08:10and takes off her glove and sees the ring.
08:12As a punishment for breaking the agreement
08:14Nina takes the ring and throws it in the toilet
08:16and water and reminds Bridget
08:18to follow the rules.
08:20A few days later, in the same toilet
08:22Nina nervously walks around
08:24with the ring in her hand
08:26because her friend is late.
08:28Bridget finally shows up and hurriedly
08:30throws the bag with the real ring
08:32and when Nina picks up the bag
08:34accidentally the key falls into the sink.
08:36Bridget can't go back to the first floor
08:38to ask Jackie for the second key
08:40because if she broke her daily route
08:42she would become suspicious.
08:44She doesn't have Jackie's phone number
08:46so she stays in the bathroom
08:48and calls her husband
08:50until Nina returns to her workplace
08:52and warns him about the problem.
08:54Bob's boss sees him using his phone
08:56and when Bob refuses to go back to work
08:58he gets a rejection.
09:00Donna needs a lot of time
09:02to talk to Bridget
09:04and tell her that Jackie will find a way
09:06to give her the key
09:08so Glover thinks it's suspicious
09:10that she spends so much time in the bathroom
09:12and goes to meet her.
09:14Bridget manages to get out of trouble
09:16becoming incredibly nervous
09:18because of the way the employees
09:20are trying to scare Glover.
09:22Jackie hides the key
09:24in his chewing gum
09:26with the intention of hiding it in the wall.
09:28When the elevator door opens
09:30two men are inside
09:32and Jackie pretends to be scared
09:34and throws the chewing gum at them.
09:36They move away and the chewing gum
09:38sticks to the wall
09:40and when the elevator goes down
09:42Bridget takes the key.
09:44Meanwhile, Nina can't open the drawer
09:46because she doesn't have the real key.
09:48She asks Barry to open the door
09:50and while he's busy
09:52Bridget throws the key at Nina
09:54who finally manages to open the drawer.
09:56She smiles at Barry
09:58and tells him that she managed to solve the problem
10:00but he notices that the key
10:02hangs in its usual place
10:04as if no one took it.
10:06Bridget calls Donna
10:08who is currently with Bob
10:10and tells her that everything is fine now.
10:12Donna apologizes to Bob
10:14because he caused his loss of work
10:16but Bob tells her that everything is fine
10:18because he hated his job anyway.
10:20Donna finds this very interesting
10:22because she starts to miss his old job.
10:24After work, Barry waits for Nina in the parking lot
10:26and tells her that he knows what's going on
10:28but he just asks Nina to tell his team
10:30that it's over and leaves.
10:32The three of them gather to talk
10:34about the problem with Junior
10:36who gives them booze.
10:38Since Barry is obviously in love with Nina
10:40he thinks that they can use it for their own benefit
10:42but Nina doesn't want to do such things for money.
10:44She thinks that they should put Barry in the team
10:46but since Bridget and Nina insist
10:48on the idea for a meeting
10:50Nina promises that she will decide
10:52what to do when the right time comes for it.
10:54After getting dressed up
10:56Nina goes to Barry's apartment
10:58not knowing that he lives with his sick mother.
11:00She tells him that money can give him
11:02whatever he wants
11:04and that she will go with him to the meeting
11:06but Barry refuses.
11:08The next day, Bridget meets Barry in the bathroom
11:10to ask him about his decisions
11:12and how a heterosexual man
11:14could refuse money and a beautiful woman.
11:16Later, Bridget goes to her friends
11:18and tells them that Barry is now a part of the team
11:20and that he doesn't want Nina to be a part of their deal
11:22because she's worth a lot more than that.
11:24Later, they share money with him
11:26and now that he's working with them
11:28he can tell them when there will be
11:30a surprise visit.
11:32Before they leave, Nina apologizes to Barry
11:34because she offered him a meeting for money
11:36and they both admit that they are interested
11:38in each other without anything else.
11:40In the meantime, Bridget is already tired
11:42of not being able to spend money.
11:44Don, who lacks his administrative job,
11:46does not want to lose Bridget
11:48so he joins the team
11:50to tell them how to lie about their lives
11:52because it will look like they earn a lot more.
11:54Nina will invent a guy who is out of town
11:56and who always sends a lot of gifts.
11:58Nina will invent a guy who is out of town
12:00and who always sends a lot of gifts.
12:02Bob will lie that he sells some things
12:04via the internet.
12:06Barry will pretend that his mother
12:08has a huge life insurance
12:10and Don will lie that he works
12:12as a freelancer.
12:14From this moment on,
12:16not only do they steal money,
12:18but they also start spending it.
12:20Jackie and Bob buy a new bicycle,
12:22an electric guitar and a new bigger camper.
12:24Nina moves from a small house to a bigger one
12:26which is in the front yard
12:28and Bridget and Don do some renovation
12:30on the house and buy clothes and shoes.
12:32They don't have any problem
12:34except where to hide so much money.
12:36Three years after their first robbery,
12:38Bridget organizes a party in her house
12:40when she notices a stranger.
12:42She quickly forgets about him
12:44when her husband tells her that he found a new job
12:46and Nina shows them a religious ring.
12:48The next day, the head of the same man
12:50walks through the bank and he takes
12:52the wheel with the money that Jackie
12:54had to withdraw to show him the route
12:56that the wheel makes.
12:58They meet in the toilet and Jackie tells them
13:00about this change of routine and tells them
13:02how he has a bad feeling about this.
13:04Bridget tells them to stay calm
13:06and try to find out something more
13:08before they make any decision.
13:10But Bridget can't stay calm
13:12when she sees that this man
13:14is the one who was on her case.
13:16This man is a federal bank investigator
13:18Mandelbrot.
13:20In the office's privacy,
13:22he tells Glover how his employees
13:24potentially stole money from him.
13:26Glover is extremely proud of the protection
13:28of the Robbers and refuses to accept
13:30that anyone could steal money.
13:32While Mandelbrot goes to Bridget's town
13:34to ask her neighbors some questions,
13:36Don finds out that he is an investigator
13:38and asks his wife to call a lawyer
13:40and to surrender.
13:42But Bridget refuses
13:44because it would force Nina
13:46to legally lose her children.
13:48All three of their houses are under surveillance
13:50so the three couples gather and discuss
13:52how to proceed.
13:54Bridget thinks that they were not arrested
13:56because they still do not have evidence
13:58so they should not do anything
14:00while spending their money.
14:02Rob then admits that maybe he was not very careful
14:04because he realized that trading
14:06through the internet is very serious
14:08and he actually started doing it.
14:10For reasons because he invested more than $10,000
14:12the transaction was reported to the IRS
14:14and that explains why they are suddenly under investigation.
14:16Bridget insists that the police
14:18do not have evidence
14:20but Nina reminds her that the money
14:22hidden in their houses is counted as evidence
14:24so everyone agrees to destroy it
14:26when they come home
14:28Before leaving,
14:30Barry tells Nina that he knows
14:32how the police work
14:34and that they only need one confession
14:36to be caught.
14:38So if they are caught,
14:40they should quickly come to an agreement
14:42with the police to save the children
14:44and that no one will hurt them.
14:46Now the story goes back to the beginning.
14:48Jackie and Bob think that their old camp
14:50explodes along with the scientists inside
14:52and try to escape in a new one
14:54but they are caught before they can leave the area.
14:56When they burn the money,
14:58Barry finds out how he puts the money in his car
15:00and Don finds out how he destroys the money
15:02by throwing them in the toilet.
15:04Bridget manages to escape in her car
15:06unaware that Mandelbrot is following her.
15:08She spent the night at the hotel
15:10under a false name
15:12after she denied the receptionist
15:14so she did not ask for her credit card.
15:16The next morning, while having breakfast
15:18at the hotel restaurant, Mandelbrot
15:20asks her some questions
15:22to try to satisfy his curiosity
15:24so he can arrest her because he is not a cop
15:26and she leaves.
15:28In the meantime, the rest of the team is investigating.
15:30Bob refuses to talk without a lawyer.
15:32Don pretends to care about him
15:34because his wife left him
15:36and Nina gets an offer to save her children.
15:38She thinks about that offer for a few hours
15:40and finally decides to accept the offer
15:42but the cop says it's too late
15:44because Jackie has already made an agreement with him.
15:46To her surprise, Jackie did not ask
15:48to set her free
15:50but to set Nina free
15:53Bridget goes to her neighbor Bryce
15:55and asks him to be her lawyer.
15:57He usually does not do that job
15:59but changes his mind when he sees the amount of money
16:01that Bridget offered him.
16:03The two of them go to the police station
16:05and Bryce presents himself as a lawyer for the whole team.
16:07Just as Bridget said, the police have no evidence
16:09that the money was stolen
16:11so they would not even have them if they brought Glover
16:13to question him
16:15because he is sure that no one could rob his bank
16:17in the last three years without any alarm.
16:19The police do not have a valid case
16:21because if the invested money is legal
16:23then they have to pay the fine.
16:25In the end, they come to an agreement
16:27that is, they are set free without any punishment
16:29but they have to return all the money they stole
16:31and of course they agreed to that.
16:33After leaving the station,
16:35they hug each other and all go their own way.
16:37Eight months later, the three of them
16:39meet in a junior bar again
16:41and share details about their lives.
16:43Nina's honeymoon lasted only two days
16:45and the whole family now lives together
16:47in a small apartment
16:49where the two of them have two apartments
16:51so they can find each other.
16:53Jackie is on the run
16:55and Bob is back to his old job
16:57and now the two of them are saving money
16:59to go to South America in five years.
17:01Bridget's news is different from their
17:03because she tells them about the phrase
17:05Mad Money, which talks about
17:07how women always keep some money on the side
17:09and before she shows them that big surprise
17:11we find out that she kept money
17:13on a junior account
17:15that they can now use to have the kind of life
