Mad Money follows three Federal Reserve employees, played by Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes, who hatch a plan to pocket cash that the government is already planning to shred. The premise is comic crime, and the politics are personal rather than systemic: the women steal to solve their own financial problems, not to make a statement about economic inequality. Director Callie Khouri brings a female-led creative sensibility, and the cast is visibly diverse. Family motivation, a race-swapped lead from the British original, and an apolitical plot that leans on individual hustle over ideology all pull in different directions, landing the film at Neutral.
