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...
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.
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.
I would have never pictured these two characters together as the leads of a big movie but here we are. And I'm loving it!
If you expect some super smart comedy full of unexpected twists and turns to come out of Amazon Prime with these two as the main stars.... then the joke is on you. This wasn't stupid but it certainly won't make you stop and contemplate your existence. It's silly, ridiculous, funny, original *enough*, and the acting is quite good. The funny thing is, I don't think most people even got the joke. Which is that people will absolutely turn on each other in seconds when money is involved. The nice lady on the bus suddenly turning into a serial killer... I mean, c'mon, we all know a lady like that who's stabbed us in the back. It's funny but kinda very true too.

Listen, this is not a movie to go in expecting a fresh experience. It's a pulpy action comedy with Cena and Awkafina doing what they do best. It's breezy and fun to watch, and the length of the movie is perfect for a lazy afternoon or night to while the time away. It was never meant to be more than that, and it delivers where it counts. The action is quick, the dialogues are mostly witting, the screenplay is pacing, and the supporting cast are fantastic.
The movie takes the concept from The Purge, adds a jackpot element to it, and turns it into a straight-out comedy. The concept works, and the movie doesn't take much time to get going.
I really liked the movie and I guess you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy this. It's way better than similar movies which are just pure garbage made half-heartedly to cash in a pay cheque.
Special shoutout to Ayden Mayeri as Shadi, who steals the show in every scene she is in. Hope to see more of her in the future.

- 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.
