Plot Summary

Red is an aging scam-artist who's just been released from prison together with Ronnie, a young and not-so-bright hoodlum who is easily manipulated. Their new business is to organize fake-money sales and then kill the buyer to take his money; but when Ronnie kills an undercover secret service agent, his partner Jimmy Mercer vows revenge and is given one week to catch the killers before being transferred. Written by Giancarlo Cairella

Trivia The finished film was primarily centered on Dennis Hopper's character, but due to Wesley Snipes's popularity at the time, Warner Bros., which bought the film in the US, decided to shorten most of his scenes, to strengthen Snipes's role. Other cuts were made to beef up the pacing. The cuts included the loss of several scenes between Mortensen and his girlfriend. In an interview, director James B. Harris stated that he did not have the final cut and that Warner Bros. removed ten minutes from the pic in an attempt to make it more commercial. He noted that they also changed the title from Money Men to Boiling Point, in a bid to sell it as an action picture, similar to Passenger 57. Dennis Hopper, who felt he delivered his best performance, did not like the version that was ultimately released. See more »
