"Cash Only" film
The Village Voice reviews the Indie film, "Cash Only," playing at the Birmingham Theatre and Emagine Novi in an article titled: "Gritty Crime Indie 'Cash Only' Boasts Mean Action and a Vivid Detroit Setting."
The film is about a derelict landlord who desperately tries to repay stolen cash to a dog-fighting, crazy man who has his daughter abducted, according to the film's website.
Serena Donadoni of the Voice writes:
Cash Only features many familiar action movie markers, but it's distinguished by a raw energy and strong sense of place. Members of its Detroit crew worked on major studio projects lured by Michigan's now-defunct film incentives program (including Shreli, his co-producer Ele Bardha, and cinematographer Christos Moisides), and their endeavor captures what outsiders miss: the density of viable neighborhoods and the tenacity of residents. Their Detroit is bleak and unforgiving, but also vividly and defiantly alive.
