This film has a great idea: following a dollar bill as it changes hands, through a cast of mostly dysfunctional gritty characters, through a tale of murder, alcohol, sex, redneck racism, and drugs in Louisiana. What's not to like?

Only a few things:

1. The script

2. The acting

3. Wiggle-cam (not enough to induce nausea, but definitely enough to be annoying, intrusive, and an affectation).

This is one of those films where it's hard to tell what's worse, the acting or the script.

I think it's a tie.

The cinematography is well crafted at times, if you can see through the wiggle-cam, but not enough to redeem the rest.

I sat through the whole thing, but it was difficult.

Full of surprises, suspenses, tension darkness and great actors. Excellent!

Though I do not approve of them flash backs can be used effectively on occasion. This is not one of those occasions. The cast act up to a poor script in this bore of a film and some credit is due. For me it also suffers from a clichéd and predictable storyline in which the baddies are all bad and the goodies are bad too but with reason, and we are expected to sympathise. But it is impossible to identify with the two dimensional characters in this film and any attempted symbolism in a dollar bill is pure tosh. Don't waste your time.
