Film Review - High Rollers
March 14, 2025
Eleven months ago, “Cash Out” was released. Did you see it? Have you even heard of it? Well, now there’s “High Rollers,” which is a sequel to the 2024 release, and one promised at the end of the original feature. Instead of being titled “Cash Out 2,” the production has elected to remove all identification that the new release is actually a direct continuation, and I feel bad for those lured into a rental thinking they’re about to watch a James Bond knockoff starring John Travolta. Instead, they’re offered junk, directed by “Ives” (allegedly a pseudonym for noted shlockmeister Randall Emmett), who delivers another low-budget caper featuring most of the same underwhelming cast and an unexotic location. It’s not an improvement, and it requires knowledge of “Cash Out” to make sense, and even that’s not guaranteed. It’s a dim take on “Ocean’s Eleven,” made by a production team looking to slap together movies as fast as possible. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
