“Cashing Out” (*1/2 out of four) was a losing hand about an aspiring poker player (Tyler Mills) who begins to find out that the real money exists in robbing helpless gamblers and he gets sucked into the vicious criminal underworld of robbery and theft as he still continues to try and make a stake for himself in the poker field. Title is sadly ironic since mostly everyone on hand seems to be here for cashing a check. Writer/director Alex Srednoselac seems to be trying for a gritty cross between “Mean Streets” and “The Gambler” but his ambition outweighs his craft.
