Review of One for the Money (2012) by Natasha L — 07 Dec 2012
The worst gunshoe stories drop all the clues right into the detective's hands. This is one of those movies. Characters are treated like disposable plot movers, who only conveniently show up just when needed and disappear just as quickly.
The appeal of the Stephanie Plum is understandable, but the rest of movie is just terrible storytelling. Voiceover that cuts in every few minutes with 'This is (blank),' 'I am (blank)' and 'This is personal' is insulting.
An unemployed lingerie sales associate instantly becoming a bullseye-hitting bounty hunter strains credibility. The movie is packed with unnecessary scenes and dialogue that do nothing to advance the plot or develop character.
Thankfully they're brief -- but these pace-killing moments papercut 'One for the Money' to death.
