About This Movie

Jackpot (2011) serves up a wild mix of action, comedy, and crime with a rather chaotic premise. Oscar Svendsen wakes up in a strip joint, bloodied and confused, surrounded by bodies and police with guns drawn. The narrative kicks off with what seems like an innocent lottery win, spiraling into a darkly comedic mess. The pacing is frenetic, throwing you into the mayhem alongside Oscar, who’s both terrified and bewildered. The film brings a distinct tone, blending slapstick humor with genuine tension. Practical effects lend a gritty authenticity to the violence, while performances, especially from the supporting cast, balance the absurdity with real stakes. It's a curious blend that keeps you engaged throughout, even if it straddles that fine line of ridiculousness.
