All About the Benjamins (2002)
Watch Now
Bucum Jackson (Cube) is a bounty hunter with a lot of attitude and no interest in taking on a partner. Working at Martinez Bail Bonds, Jackson has unorthodox methods of tracking down low-life criminals, but they work, and one day he hopes to become his own boss and open up his own private investigation firm. Reggie Wright (Epps) is a slippery con artist who is avoiding the law, and Jackson. During a cat and mouse chase, the two stumble on a multi-million dollar diamond heist. Hiding from Jackson, Wright finds himself in the thieves' getaway van and ends up having to escape from them after they discover their booty is fake, much to the displeasure of their ruthless boss (Flanagan). When Wright meets up with his girlfriend (Mendes), he discovers that his recently purchased lottery ticket is the sole winner of $60 million. Unfortunately, his wallet, which held the ticket, was left in the thieves' van, so he persuades Jackson to help him get it back.

You won't be disappointed!
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This movie doesn't have much to offer. It isn't funny at any point, the characters are paper thin, and largely doesn't have a point.Ice Cube and Mike Epps don't really do much as a comedy duo in this movie, it seems that they worked well in the Friday 2 and 3 but just kind of phoned it in for this one. This would be probably be a 3 star rating from me if I didn't like Ice Cube and Mike Epps. Hell, maybe I'd give this a 5 or a 6 if there was anything funny present in the film other than just the presence of the main duo. (Note: if you take a look at some of my ratings, you'll notice that I like a lot of stuff and give a pass to a LOT of stuff that you would probably think is way worse had you not seen this)
This movie is totally the worse i've ever seen! Ice cube is a VERY bad actor, well all of the actors of this movie are bad. The story is stupid, the end is stupid... It's really rare that I hate a movie that much! IT SUCKS
Campy, trashy what can I say. Not Flanagan's best nor Ice Cube's. Mr Epps needs to consider a new career. His one liners weren't worth the effort it took to say them. Could have been funnier if more effort was spent on "comedy" but definately doesn't qualify as an action film
Ice Cube is entertaining in this movie. There was nothing original about the plot, but the 2 main characters do keep your interests. And the title refers to money, as in $100 bills. It's all about the Benjamins (Franklin). Ice Cube is a bounty hunter out to get his man for some money, while the guy he's after just won the lottery. Only problem is he lost his wallet that had the winning ticket. To get it back, they have to deal with diamond thieves. One of the funnier scenes is in the beginning when Ice Cube uses a shock gun on a guy in a place you wouldn't want it to be used! FINAL VERDICT: I thought it was OK. I recommend it you are wanting to see some light hearted action comedy.
