Blood and Money (formerly titled Allagash)[1][2][3][4] is a 2020 American thriller film directed by John Barr and starring Tom Berenger.
[5] Jim Reed is depressed and tired of life old man living in an RV near the woods of Maine during the winter.
Having few relationships, he eats breakfast regularly at a diner where he shares a friendship with Debbie, a waitress and working class mother unhappy with her marriage and general life.
Panicked, he flees the woods and goes to town's bar, where he orders shots of whiskey, then yells at the bartender when she jokes about him falling "off the wagon."
Watching the television, he discovers that the woman was part of a five-person crew that robbed $1.2 million from a casino and viciously killed three security guards and injuring twelve civilians.
Realizing he left a cigarette butt near the dead woman's body, he hurries out back into the woods.
Barely alive, Jim gets up and starts walking, but he has been severely wounded from the combination of the fall and blood loss after being shot two days earlier.
The next day, the manager at the logging site finds Jim's note at the office and drives to town, leaving it at the restaurant where Debbie works.
When Debbie starts reading and sees that Jim sketched a map for her to find the cave where the money bag is hidden (together with the line "this is for you and for your kids") she apparently believes it to be a prank or otherwise worthless, so she rips it in half and throws it away.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Blood and Money gives Tom Berenger a too-rare opportunity to take the spotlight -- along with a middling script that falls back too often on action movie clichés.
[10] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, calling it "a welcome vehicle for its star, who has been underused by filmmakers for decades.
