“All About the Benjamins,” as in Benjamin Franklin, whose face is on the hundred dollar bill, is basically about greed. Bucum is forced to take Reggie along as a partner, since that’s the only way Reggie will reveal what he knows about the diamonds. Joining with someone against crime seems like it would reform Reggie, as he seeks to make things right and help Bucum execute a little justice. However, he and Bucum both use the whole operation as a glorified scam, and end up stealing part of the money for themselves.
Some of the shootings come off as quite brutal, and one graphic scene features Bucum torturing a man by twisting a medical screw, part of a contraption to stabilize an earlier wound, into his arm. Add more than 200 obscenities to the dialogue and “All About the Benjamins” cannot be Dove Family-Approved.
