A slumlord tries desperately to repay stolen cash to a sociopath after his daughter is kidnapped.

I must have breathed while watching "Cash Only." But it sure felt as if I didn't. This brutal and severe film has that effect.

Cash Only features many familiar action movie markers, but it's distinguished by a raw energy and strong sense of place.

One of the more convincingly gritty indies to hit fests in several seasons.

The final, bloody denouement reveals the filmmakers' severe limitations. ... An encounter with a sadistic lunatic "solves" the dramatic and real-life problems posed by the film's own logic at the expense, however, of social and psychological truth.

I was impressed by the unique story and approach to what, in the last thirty minutes, turns out to be a tense, enjoyable crime thriller.

The struggles and relationship difficulties shown here are all too real and the film will hit home for a lot of viewers on different levels.

Pretty fucking good spin on the old "relative kidnapped by Eastern European gangsters" theme, this is a solid film, quite tense and Nickola Shreli is immensely watchable in the lead.
