As a devoted cinephile, I found myself immersed in the thrilling tale of “High Rollers”. The narrative unfolds when my rival, Salazar (Pardo), unearths the secret operations of Mason Goddard’s (Travolta) crew. In a chilling turn of events, they kidnap Amelia (Gershon) and demand that I, along with my team, execute an intricate casino heist to secure her release. With our backs against the wall, we strategize, choosing the perfect target – a grand casino, where we meticulously plot our next move.
Mason assumes the role of a wealthy gambling enthusiast who develops an alliance with Zade Black (portrayed by Castro), the owner and mark of the heist. But, during this mission, he encounters several obstacles that require quick thinking. Will they manage to complete the task and protect their dear ones?
