Last month I watched on Tubi a 1993 movie called Twenty Bucks, directed by Keva Rosenfeld, about a $20 bill that passes through various people and their stories. The movie was pretty good, a mix of Hollywood stars (Brendan Fraser, Elisabeth Shue) and indie stars on the rise (Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy). My favorite part was a story with Christopher Lloyd and Buscemi as two thieves who spend a night robbing liquor stores together. Lloyd is like the seasoned career criminal, Buscemi is the dirtbag loser. Lloyd was one of the best actors of the movie, and it was nice seeing him play a serious part and not being hammy. Melora Walters was also one of my favorites as a bachelor party stripper whose day job is working at a mortuary, I found her character varied and interesting. Fraser was the weaker part, he just seemed lost and too clean and boring for an offbeat movie like this.
