| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Where the Money Is |
|---|
Based on a screenplay directly written for the screen, WHERE THE MONEY IS is a movie directed by Marek Kanievska in 2000.
Paul Newman, a smart thief artist, has simulated an attack in prison and, as numb as a vegetable, is transferred to a local hospital complex for the elderly people. But nurse Linda Fiorentino is also smart and soon discovers Newman's little game. Tired of her boring life, she proposes to him to commit a robbery. Newman accepts.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
