John Travolta’s Latest C-Movie Hits VOD in April

Whatever happened to John Travolta? His career seems to have gone down the dumpster fire. He’s now the king of C-movies, a throne previously held by the likes of Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage.

His last few films barely made a dent — has anyone seen “Paradise City,” “The Poison Rose,” “Trading Paint,” “Speak Kills,” “Gotti,” “I Am Wrath,” “Life on the Line,” “Criminal Activities,” “The Forger,” “Killing Seasons”?

His last outing was called “Mob Land,” and, although it didn’t get released Stateside, it did get a theatrical release in the UK where it made $171 in a three theater release in late August 2023. It’s now available to rent on VOD.

Travolta’s latest C-movie, titled “Cash Out,” has him playing playing a retired thief who gets pulled back into another high-stakes heist. A trailer was released today, and so was an April 26 date on VOD.

Travolta's career looks like it desperately needs another comeback. We thought it might have happened with his strong turn as OJ Simpson's lawyer, Robert Shapiro, in 2016’s “The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” That same year he starred in Ti West’s underrated “In A Valley of Violence,” and his performance was great.

But these last seven years haven’t been kind to Travolta. Maybe he doesn’t care anymore. He seems to be living the life. Travolta was mocked for an aerial view of his Florida home, which shows his Boeing 737 parked out front. I guess staring in mediocre movies does pay.

The real bummer of it all is that Travolta was once a major star attraction at the movies. His filmography still speaks for itself: “Blow Out,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Get Shorty,” “Face/Off,” “A Civil Action,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Grease,” “Carrie.” Hopefully, the rumors that Tarantino has cast him in “The Movie Critic” turn out to be true.
