Overall the writing was good. The character motivations and backstories were slowly dripped and in Act 1 it really looked like the movie was setting up some good payoffs.
Unfortunately, the moral dilemmas that were formed in Act 1 quickly disappeared in Act 2 when it became all about the money. Resolved was the mystery of each character's motivation. Resolved was the tension between the characters' competing interests.
Act 2 was a simple find the money plot with the characters making very poor choices. Why would you have the money mailed from the post office deposit box instead of driving there? It puts you at way too much risk. Why would you divulge your entire scheme to the real wife?
Act 3 consisted of some plot twists that got the action and drama going again. However, wrapped up too tidy for me.
Overall a fun little B movie that has some good parts to it.
