This was definitely a low budget film produced on a shoe string budget and minus any major film corporations blessing or class A stars. The writer/director and cameo actor Christopher Robin Hood is to be commended for pulling together not only a pretty decent story line but a better than average last 15 minutes filled with a few surprise "endings". I just laughed my a## off at the ending which left me with a good impression of this entertaining B movie.
Okay so some of the actors were very bland such as Curtis Joe Walker who plays Duncan the Casino's money counter. Hey buddy you need to get a few stiff drinks in to you and loosen up before you get in front of a camera again. On the other hand supporting actors such as Jay Anthony Franke who plays a Casino card dealer and Scribe, and Dean Mauro the corrupt casino owner, were more than adequate in their assigned roles. The girls were all decent actresses and easy on the eyes. The sprinkling of nudity was nice but I thought it actually took away from the quality of the film's story line causing it to drop to the grade B movie that it is qualified to hold.
I loved the story's twisted ending and Barry the casino owner is dealt with a bit of Karma that leaves the audience enjoying this happy ending...no pun intended.
I rate this B movie crime genre a good 6 out of 10 rating.
Of note, Christopher Robin Hood's subsequent writing and directing credit includes a similar 2014 crime genre film titled Dirty Dealing 3D which does not appear to be out in general release yet but if you like The Casino Job as I did I am sure Dirty Dealing 3D which has a similar casino crime plot will satisfy his followers.
