I don’t know many people who have seen the 2001 dramatic thriller Finder’s Fee. If you are not one of those people who have seen it, then I’m happy to introduce you to this fantastic little indie film. The movie centers around a man who finds a wallet on the street containing a winning lottery ticket worth $6 million. This is the start of what turns out to be a crazy and super heavy and complicated problem.
The film was directed by Jeff Probst, and it features an impressive ensemble cast that includes the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Mathew Lillard, James Earl Jones, Erik Palladino, and Dash Mihok. This cast alone should be enough for you to want to watch the movie, and I have to say that they all deliver incredible performances.
The story follows a guy named Tepper (Palladino), who, like I already mentioned, discovers a wallet on the street.
