You won't be disappointed!
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I have to be honest, I started the movie one late night and had planned on watching the first 15 minutes or so then catch up the next day. Turned out I couldn't turn it off and had to know how everything progressed through this guys story. Following the hardships of this landlord just trying to fly straight after tradegy and raise what is left of his family to the shocking and graphic end. I was rooting for the dude the entire flick, ending was intense! Looking forward to more films from this actor (Nick Shreli) in the future. Now go watch "Cash Only"!
Cash only is very slow moving at times, but realistic with a gritty punch. The plot itself is fairly straight forward, but it is actor driven and the main character is played so very naturally, that, with a cultural, criminal element keeps you there to the very end
I thoroughly enjoyed this film on many levels.It was gritty and realistic. The film follows an Albanian American landlord dealing with "real life" problems with dead beat tenants. The acting was way above par and the story and narrative fast paced and believable. Style was simple yet very realistic. I am familiar with the areas this film was shot in and know many Albanians in this community so that brought a cool sense of realism to the film for me as well.I think the writer and lead actor does a great job as does the cousin and daughter. I would like to see more from this guy. A hard hitting thriller/Drama that goes by very fast and does not disappoint!Time well spent!
This is an intelligent movie that was written to have no end; or, this movie was given an ending that was written for a distinct beginning.We all strive for perfection. Even when you live around those who constantly make mistakes, you eventually realize that you too make mistakes. And so you are comfortable with doing wrong. Eventually you use the mistakes of others, and the mistakes of yourself to your advantage. But when does that attitude stop? When do you start to live for yourself, and not for others? The death of a loved one? Your death?To steal from a criminal and to not be afraid only requires the attitude of a person who is comfortable with making mistakes, until they are made to deal with the consequences. This movie lost a star because there was an ending.
