Jackpot!

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!

A movie that doesn't require much thought and definitely has a few too many toilet humour jokes and somewhat cringy dialogue, but overall still pretty exciting, thrilling, and a lot of fun to watch with well choreographed action that was never boring, keeping you on your toes, and an endearing performance from John Cena as Noel, who was just a genuinely fun, sweet and quirky character.

Sure, it's not groundbreaking, it's not overly surprising in the direction it went, and it could've explored its concept and the implications of it more thoroughly, especially the horror of it, (warning, parts of it get brutal/dark but more in a cartoonish supervillain way?), but hey, that's not the type of movie it is, not the type I expected it to be, and that's fine.

It had a lot of humour that didn't hit but also a lot that did, it had characters I was rooting for, good pacing, scenes that made me feel on the edge of my seat; it made me laugh and make various oh and *gasp* noises, and be like did you see that?? To my family, so all in all, a stupid good time. Slightly unnerving in concept. Kinda like an old fashioned violent cartoon.👍

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.

Prime auto played this after I finished another movie and...I am so glad it did.

I was a bit confused at the very beginning but as predictable as it was, John Cena and Akwafina were great together. Just enough to laugh at, love John Cena humour. I enjoy action movies and this one had some really great, cringy action scenes. Just the right mix of good and evil with a drop of crazy.

Would suggest you grab some trashy snacks a blankie and watch, don't think, just watch. Was never advertised as a life changing doco, think the thumbnail pointed everyone in the right direction. No need for the bad reviews, it's just a bit of fun.

Watch, don't think, just WATCH.

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...
