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. When Katie Kim (Awkwafina) moves to Los Angeles, she mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket. Desperate to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters, she reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy (John Cena) who will do everything in his power to get her to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize. However, Noel must face off with his slick rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu), who also seeks to collect Katie's commission at all costs.

Critics Consensus

Despite having a cast and crew of comedy all-stars on hand, Jackpot! provides little payout thanks to a puerile script and erratic pacing.

Elizabeth Weitzman

TheWrap

Feig's primary influences seem to be "Idiocracy," "The Purge," and Looney Tunes--and he is undoubtedly correct in assuming that this unholy mix will hit some people’s sweet spot.

Craig Mathieson

The Age (Australia)

An action-comedy that lacks intoxicating fight scenes and genuine punchlines, this feature is less than the sum of its parts even as it turns Los Angeles’ make-or-break culture into a dystopian murder game.

Rated: 2/5

Chicago Reader

Another familiar dystopia wrings laughs thanks to a stellar cast.

Radio Times

Director Montgomery Tully was no auteur, but he was prolific and he knew what he was doing, as this atmospheric and solidly cast British crime thriller suggests.

Rated: 2/5

“Jackpot!” sadly fails, because it never transcends or subverts Hollywood’s conventional approach to difficult subjects.

I won’t lie here, but i somewhat enjoy John Cena movies. I don’t tend to think they’re the greatest movies ever, but they’re somewhat like comfort movies that make me laugh.. But this, i had to shut off about 25-30 minutes in. I couldn’t handle the over exasperation of trying to have a “great” movie. Could not get with some of the dialogue between characters. Would not recommend..
