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. (Prime Video)

Wie wenn Sie einer Gruppe von untalentierten Bewerbern des kreativen Schreibens in einem Seminar die Aufgabe geben, ein Drehbuch zu schreiben, in dem jeder Dialog ein Spruch ist. Und sie nehmen es wörtlich. Das Ergebnis ist nicht das Obligate, dass hoffentlich ein Witz von fünf gelingt, sondern die seltene Kombination "ein Witz, ein eyeroll". Die Chemie zwischen den Protagonisten existiert nicht, Feigs Regie hinterlässt den Eindruck, dass er lieber das Set weit gemieden hat und die Schauspieler diesen fürchterlichen Bullshit labern ließ. Ein Jackpot zum Sterben! ist ein Symptom der Streaming-Zeit. Wirklich, wundert euch nicht, dass in ein paar Jahren die Leute nur noch an Youtubern und Influencern interessiert sein werden. Besser als diese fettarme Scheiße.

Yeah, that was crap. From the trio of Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat), Awkwafina and John Cena I expected a brutal comedy blast, full of humour, that would have me laughing out loud, with loads of jokes, but the result is exactly the opposite. The humour is terribly weak, I laughed only a few times, the jokes are dry and Cena has nothing to work with here, because his character is too ordinary, characterless and not interesting, Awkwafina can do better roles too. So we have two great comedy actors under the baton of a seasoned comedy director in a very surprisingly big misstep that probably no one expected. We were expecting a lot more, but this was so bad that I had trouble finishing it. The idea is perfect and a lot could have been made out of it, but it's woefully underused and there's nothing to stand on at all.

Paul Feig probably won't surpass Spy, but this is good fun. The idea of being able to kill the winner of the lottery and legally take the jackpot is very cool. Awkwafina is mostly annoying but I didn't mind her here, and John Cena is as fun and fine as always, even Simu Liu one is cool. The action is rather fun and interesting, but it’s a shame that it’s not R-rated, if there was also some nice gore I would definitely go higher with the rating. In terms of humour it could have been better too, but there were a few laughs. It goes by nicely, there is always something going on, for me a good stuff. 6/10.
