With plenty of dark humor to leaven the bloody mayhem, Jackpot is an entertaining murder mystery with a suitably quirky Scandinavian twist.

"Jackpot" plays like an over-the-top story told by a drunken film fan at a bar: "Dude, I just saw this movie and it was CRAZY. You have to see it." Trust me, you don't. Jun 27, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

As an absurdist suspense film, "Jackpot" mostly hits its marks. As a comedy, it's less successful, stronger on sight gags than on the detective's sarcasm. Jun 26, 2014 | Full Review…

Certainly, a lot of blood is spilled in the name of laughs. There's only one problem with its broad attempts at grotesque comedy: Jackpot simply isn't funny. Jun 24, 2014 | Full Review…

Blood-spattered crime comedy benefits from whip-smart pacing and quirky Scandinavian attitude. Jun 23, 2014 | Full Review…

It lays on lashings of crim-bickering and jauntily scored arterial spurting when all you can stomach is some crispbread. Aug 9, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Here is a mean-spirited movie about bad-hearted people in which the central question seems to be which of these characters is the nastiest of the lot. Jun 26, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Capable, candy-colored, often giddily gruesome Euro-action from Norway, replete with lottery winnings, double-crosses, discreet vivisection and a shootout in a strip club called "Pink Heaven" with a single survivor whom the police want explanations from. Jun 26, 2014 | Full Review…

It's probably a good thing that the characters are so unlikeably dumb in Magnus Martens' violent black comedy Jackpot. You don't want to become attached to any of these guys. They tend to disappear quicker than cast members on Game of Thrones. Jun 26, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Jackpot feels more like Guy Ritchie than the Coen brothers. It revels in moronic violence, unleavened by playfulness or wit. Jun 24, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Chronically let down by a lack of character development, with no spark at the off to get the whole thing rolling. Sep 30, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
