Reel Reviews | Jackpot!

by Tim Gordon

In the near future, a ‘Grand Lottery’ has been newly established in California – the catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot in the comedy, Jackpot!

Jackpot! is an action comedy film directed by Paul Feig and written by Rob Yescombe. The film stars John Cena, Nora Lum, Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Sam Asghari, and Simu Liu.

Katie, a struggling actress, wins the lottery in California in 2030. The law allows anyone with a losing ticket to murder her before sundown and legally claim her winnings. Noel, an amateur lottery protection agent, helps to keep her alive until sunset in exchange for a share of her winnings.
