Roadside Makes Quick ‘Ca$h’ Grab with Indie Thriller Title

Date:

Before signing up on Star Trek and the forthcoming Thor, Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth took on a low budget indie along with Sean Bean — Ca$h, a film destined for greatness on the homevid front is going to receive a theatrical release via Roadside Attractions in late March. 

Described as a “character-driven action thriller that explores the all-encompassing power of money and the extreme lengths desperate people will go to get it and keep it.” With a stroke of good luck, a struggling couple find a suitcase full of money, but it turns lethal for Sam Phelan (Hemsworth) and his wife Leslie (Victoria Profeta). The money fulfills their fantasies, but also brings strange and sinister Pyke Kubic (Bean) to their doorstep. Pyke leads Sam and Leslie on a frenetic and violent adventure through the streets of Chicago and forces them to play by his rules. But they play the game better than anyone expected.
