Blood money is a relatively straight forward thriller about a girl and two guys who find millions of dollars while camping in the woods. The problem is that the thief who stole the money wants it back. Another issue is that the friendship begins to unravel as soon as the money appears and in the end the three friends are their own worst enemies.
The acting is decent enough but most of the characters are extremely unlikable and keep making dumb decisions. The girl is manipulative bordering on psychotic and will do anything for the money. Her current boyfriend is dumb and goes along with whatever the girl wants and the third guy was her ex and just doesn't want the money but doesn't seem to realize that everyone else will do anything to keep it. The most interesting of the characters is the criminal played by John Cusack but even his actions are inexplicable at times eg losing the money and then spending the next day not really actively looking for it but strolling through the woods. He also seems to have no clue about tracking yet he keeps on locating the people who stole his loot.
The end of the movie is supposed to be a big twist but is just unrealistic, predictable, annoying and unoriginal. Overall it's a weak story and a forgettable film.
