Verdict on Cash Out
Cash Out is an action thriller following a professional thief dragged into a new job. However, the job quickly goes south, and his ex-girlfriend is running the negotiations. Now, the professional must get his team out before anyone is hurt in the exchange.
This movie brings us a heist that goes from a simple job to a massive incident with multiple potential problems. It uses the calm demeanour of Mason to show how smoothly things can go, with the nervous eager nature of Shawn to create panic. This keeps us guessing through the whole heist as we wait eagerly at the edge of our seats. John Travolta looks like he is having a lot of fun, which keeps us wanting to see what happens with his character. However, the romantic angle tries something different but can slow things down.
