Here is My Movie Review of Jackpot

 


Here is My Movie Review of Jackpot




So basically what happens is that you have this woman named Katie Kim And she lives in La In 2030 and sees when's the lottery. But then she finds out that there are all these other people who want the money for themselves so they all try to kill her. So then she made this guy named Noel who is her Protector And driver and then you have this guy named  Louis Lewis Her find out that Katie Kim has won the lottery so he tried to kill her Herself and some too Katie Kim to survive the entire day and win the money and that's basically what the story is for the film. Now the storyline in the film is really interesting because the way I can describe it, it's been really a gender swept version of the unbearable weight of massive Talent with Nicolas Cage  because both movies have actors playing exaggerated interpretations of themselves. But the difference is that Nicholas Cage plays himself in the film well, Awkwafina In the film plays a character that is an actress. But the Dang that they haven't called me is that both movies have the main character trying to survive against people that are trying to kill them. 




The acting in this movie is terrific. I still think everyone does a fantastic job with their performances. This movie is probably up there with Deadpool And Wolverine best acted films of this year. 





Now let's talk about Awkwafina. I really like her. I really liked her in Shang Chi  as Kitty. Also her performance in The Farewell as Billi it's probably one of the more powerful and one or more emotional performances  she has ever done in her career. Now in this film I have to say she still does a spectacular job as Katie Kim. Now Katie Kim as a character is really interesting because she's very similar to Nicolas Cage from The unbearable weight of Massive of Talent because both of them acknowledge they are both characters who have to team up with someone that they first meet in order to survive not being killed by random people. Now Katie Kim has to survive the entire day without being killed by someone because If somebody kills her they get all the money that she has won. Probably the best moment with Katie Kim is where she mentions that she is an actress, not only was Really funny.  But it makes sense because in real life Katie Kim Is played by her real life actress Awkwafina. It is probably One of the funniest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and John Cena, Ayden Mayeri, and Simu Liu Is still perfect. 





John Cena plays Noel In the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character. Now Noel as a character is really incredible because he wants to Help Katie Kim survive the entire day and avoid being killed so she can keep the money that she won from the lottery and you can tell that he really cares for Katie Kim. Probably the best moment with Noel Is where he tells Katie Kim to punch him in the face and not only is it really funny but it makes sense because he wanted to know if Katie Kim can fight. It is probably one of the funniest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Awkwafina Is brilliant. 



Ayden Mayeri plays Katie Kim's friend Shadi In the film. I have to say she still does Marvelous job as the character. Now Shadi as a Character is really interesting because she starts off as Katie Kim's friend but once he finds out That she has won the lottery. She decides to kill her so she can have the money onto herself.  Probably the best moment when Shadi Is where She seeds the phones explode And her face gets slightly burned and she starts to freak out. Not only is it  really funny. But it makes sense that the phones were about to self-destruct. It is probably one of the most over the top moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Awkwafina  Is astonishing. 




However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Simu Liu as Louis Lewis. Now the character of Louis Lewis is shown to be very greedy and selfish To the point that he will kill Katie Kim So he can have all the money to himself. He also threatened to kill Noel if Katie Kim didn't give him the money. Probably the best moment with Louis Lewis Is where He told his team to go Go after Kenny Kim then he says  ¨Fuck my Balls.¨ Not only is it really Funny but it makes sense because Kenny Kim punched him in the balls. It is probably one of the funniest moments of the entire film. Also you can tell that Simu Liu and having a lot of fun in this movie you can tell he is not taken it seems so many just hamming it up the entire time. The Rivalry between him and Katie Kim Is Incredible because he wants to kill herself he can have all the money that she won from the lottery all to himself. I also think  Louis Lewis Is probably up there with Proximas Caesar from Kingdom of Plant of the Apes. As one of the best villains of this year. The Chemistry between him and Awkwafina is perfect


The directing by Paul Feig Is really incredible because why I like about his directing is that he doesn't take the film seriously at all he knows exactly what type of film he's making a really over the top in hilarious meta action comedy  because literally Katie Kim walks into her studio she says to one of her friends that she is an actress and it is really funny. I think it is really brilliant of how he did that. 


So in conclusion I still really enjoy the film because the storyline is really  interesting because It revolved around people living in this universe where you win the lottery. But you have to avoid being killed In order to keep your money. Also I think all the characters are really Fun and over the top they are not taking it seriously they are all just overreacting and hamming it up the entire time and just having fun. I have to say if you enjoy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent with Nicolas Cage then I'm sure you're going to like this one because it is very similar to that because both characters are actors trying to survive against people who are trying to kill them. Also I think  is probably up there with Louis Lewis Is probably up there with Ikaris From Eternals and one of the best villains of the 2020s. I have to say if you like Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman then I'm sure you are going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
