Critic Reviews for Jackpot
All Critics (35) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (13)
Unabashedly derivative but nonetheless entertaining.

"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.

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.

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.
Blood-spattered crime comedy benefits from whip-smart pacing and quirky Scandinavian attitude.

Martens punctuates proceedings with moments of black humour and sudden, shocking violence, while the sheer frequency of twists, double-crosses and switchbacks keep the plot rattling along.
