Jackpot!

(Film, 2024)

Unpretentious but quite entertaining little film

A so-so little film, the basic idea is interesting (the lottery winner can be killed and the murderer takes the winnings in his place) and there are some nice scenes that get a few laughs, but nothing else . I had the feeling that the initial idea of ​​the film could have been developed much better, with tragicomic situations to kill the winner in a creative way by focusing on dark humour, instead the film is an action comedy and all in all the action scenes are not bad , but the "comedy" side is a bit sunk in uninspired and vulgar situations (80% of the film's dialogues are swear words). 

 

What I liked

  • Aside from the swear words, the protagonists, although reduced to comedy sketches, are likeable
  • A few funny scenes and engaging, but they pop up here and there amidst the mediocre context
  • The film doesn't take itself very seriously 

What I didn't like

  • Too many swear words
  • The initial idea of ​​the film is developed in a banal way

Who may like it

  • Fans of American comedies 
  • <7 >For fans of action comedies looking for a couple of hours of uninvolved entertainment
