CA$H - When $ 600K literally falls into a poor couple's life they find out ‘Money costs too much’.

PLOT - Simple premise but stretched intelligently.

$ 600K from a heist literally falls onto Sam Phelan, an unemployed man in Chicago. His wife Leslie and him foreclose their house mortgage and splurge $70K on luxuries. While they are planning their life of unforeseen luxury, their dream is disturbed by the visit of a very violent and calculative man - Pyke Kubic .

Pyke is the twin brother of the criminal who threw away the money while being chased by the police. And he is intent on recovering every cent, within five days.

The Phelans is terrorized by Pyke to become criminals to repay. Driven by desperation and fear, the young couple digs deep into themselves and finds out that they are capable of unimaginable evil and deceit; which ultimately surprises even the seasoned criminal Pyke.

TREATMENT - Director Steve Anderson elevates a simple action thriller to a morality play. He treats the viewer to a montage of Greed laced with Naivety, Fear fueled by Desperation.

Sean Bean as Pyke Kubic is a study in stylish violence which lurks just below the suave exterior.
Chris Hemsworth and Victoria Profeta as the Phelans do a classic study of ‘average next door folks' adapting fast as 'ruthless survivors'.

CA$H - A roller coaster thriller concluding that ‘Money costs too much’
