Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Jackpot!' is an entertaining action-comedy with a unique premise and strong performances by John Cena and Awkwafina. The film's humor and chemistry between the leads are praised, though some find the plot predictable and humor inconsistent. The action sequences receive positive remarks, though a few critics wish for more thrilling moments. Despite lacking depth and emotional resonance, 'Jackpot!' is considered a fun, light-hearted experience that offers enjoyable entertainment.

This was not a bad movie at all and i honestly don't get the hate it's receiving... it's a very fun and entertaining movie for what it is... It was action from start to finish and it did not disappoint. The plot may not be all the way solid but it is a breath of fresh air for comedy...this is (in a way) a fun "purge" kind of movie when you think about it... the fight scenes were very good but a little unrealistic but like i stated before it's just completely a fun movie to watch... i especially love the end of the movie(the after credits)... cover art is unappealing in my opinion so i would recommend you just give this a try because you won't be disappointed...
The concept of the movie is intriguing. Imagine if 2013's "The Purge" was a comedy, a different take on the finished product we got. While the idea is fun, its execution could have been a little better. The script written by Rob Yescombe (Outside the Wire) is dragged down at times by clunky dialogue, an inconsistent tone, and some unfunny jokes that never truly elevate the story.
I'm not the biggest fan of Awkwafina, but I liked her in this movie (except for the times she's clearly improving). I like her backstory and her relationship with John Cena (who is probably the best part of the movie). The rest of the cast is fun, but some minor characters receive more screen time than needed, which is a deliberate choice to add depth to the story and the world of the movie.
The humor doesn't always work, but when it does, I laugh. I'm a simple man. As for the action sequences, they are well-choreographed and intense and add a thrilling element to the movie. They work well and complement the humor well. Director Paul Feig has done this before with 2015's "Spy".
Overall, it's a fun movie that I recommend for a light-hearted, entertaining watch.

Awkwafina maybe wasn't the right casting call but she does all right in this absurd action comedy... but again.. John Cena steals the show. Don't know why the haters hate this movie, it never set out to be the action comedy of the decade. It was just a fun romp which it feels it succeeded in obtaining. The action is very well staged but very pg friendly with its R rating coming from its language. Simon Lui is the predictable villain alongside the 40 plus inhabitants of the city which is meant to have millions of citizens, but it is a dire t to streaming movie so it's understandable to just have the same citizens in every sequence. John Cena seems to be finding the right projects as of late and relishes in the roles he's given. It's fun yet predictable but hey, watch it and see for yourself.
5.6/10 (Kind of Recommend)
Categorized as an action and comedy film, this movie entertains quite well all the way through. There are very few slow moments throughout. The comedy isn't top notch, but if you enjoy hearing John Cena get bashed about his size then you might get a chuckle or two out.
The chemistry is good and the cast seem to have great motivation to at least entertain. I liked Awkwafina's humour. She plays the role of mouse well while John Cena is just being his own self as a friendly giant who wants to help.
The story isn't special, and doesn't do anything to standout from films similar to it. The events aren't even believable especially how the outcome is achieved, but that's the fun in films, they don't always have to make sense. They can just entertain for a couple hours. I would definitely watch this one again just for the fun I experienced despite my lower rating.
Overall, kind of recommend. It's not a one-of-a-kind film, but it certainly entertains, and so long as you're not a rigid person to comedy, you should find some hilarity to it. Well cast, good chemistry, and seemingly great motivation to entertain despite the low believability of the story. Still, I would watch again.
That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Honestly, the negative reviews must be from the most sour individuals. This movie isn't trying to be Citizen Kane-it's pure, hilarious fun from start to finish. The film embraces its brainless entertainment value, and it's clear that everyone involved had a blast making it. Highly recommended for a popcorn movie night. John Cena, Awkwafina, and Simu Liu deliver fantastic performances, bringing nonstop laughs. It's also great to see Liu and Awkwafina together again after Shang-Chi. If you're in the mood for a light, enjoyable watch, this is it. The bloopers at the end of the movie make it all the more enjoyable.

- PatzerIf they'd brought Machine Gun Kelly into the panic room with them, they wouldn't have had to worry about him giving up the code. Even if he woke up, he hadn't shown any interest in collecting the jackpot for himself, but they could always stun him again if he did.
- Crazy CreditsThere are bloopers shown throughout the entire run time of the end credits.
