Money Plays (stylized as Money Play$) is a 1998 American drama[1] TV movie written and directed by Frank D. Gilroy and starring Roy Scheider and Sonia Braga.
When a customer dies, prostitute Irene discovers his money vest containing half a million dollars. She asks her regular client Johnny to help her double the money at the casino where he works in order to return the money to some gangsters and keep the rest.
The website veronicasuperguide.nl gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, writing, "The twisty plot with more coincidences than logic does not do any justice to the dramatic core of the film, namely the relationship of the two jaded lovers. This very thing could have still made this routine thriller interesting, but Gilroy barely pays attention to it."[2]
