i be eager to watch cool money a the idea for the heist be conceive in my home town of rochester . the robbery of the pierre hotel in new york city actually take place in 1972 but the film be make to look like it could have take place in the present . it seem to me that if you be go to make a film about a historic event ( the large robbery in new york city history ) and then you should make the effort to create it for the correct time period . the only hint of the period be sammy wardrobe . i know all about creative license but even most of the scene that supposedly take place around rochester be wrong . there be no rochester downs race track and the rochester police department be not break down by precinct and there have never be a rochester examiner newspaper . perhaps the production company would have be good off come to rochester to film rather than go across lake ontario to toronto . in my opinion and thing like this only cheapen a film . the acting be pretty good ( loved margot kidder portrayal of bobby mother ) though some of the character be rather transparent . if youre look for a film that give some idea of the event that lead up to the heist and then this film be fine and otherwise and do not waste your time .
