Millions (2005) starring Alex Etel, Lewis McGibbon, James Nesbitt. Directed by Danny Boyle. Two young brothers (Etel and McGibbon) discover a satchel full of money (over 200,000 pounds British) and decide to keep it a secret. Spending the money proves to be a problem for the boys, however, especially since the conversion from pounds to Euros is only a week away. Meanwhile, the man who stole the money wants it back and comes looking for it. There are elements of the mystical in this film, and elements of pure fantasy. There are also elements of pure greed. It all comes together somehow into a satisfying and moving conclusion. The subtitles are hard to read, however. Grade: A-
