“Cash Only” (** out of four) was a murky underworld melodrama about a Detroit landlord (Nickola Shreli who looks like a Jewish Vin Diesel) in severe financial problems and about to be foreclosed on by the bank who finds some money in an evicted tenant’s apartment but this leads to further problems and complications with the Detroit underworld and mob when they want their money back. Violent, ugly thriller isn’t bad but is let down by a meandering and weak screenplay. Shreli’s empathic performance helps keep this watchable but this still isn’t worth spending your “cash” on.
