Jackpot! Review
‘Jackpot!’ Sees Awkwafina and John Cena on the Run in a Satirical Action Comedy. Paul Feig’s latest movie blends laughs with stunts to fairly entertaining effect, anchored by solid work from its game stars. It’s still not quite a winner.On Prime Video on August 15th, ‘Jackpot!’ finds Paul Feig back in the sort of action-comedy territory that served him well for the likes of ‘Spy’ and ‘The Heat.
’ Yet his latest, like a couple of his other recent efforts, has been sent direct to streaming, signaling just how tough it is for filmmakers’ work to find theaters outside of giant franchise or indie films that score a release. Still, it’s entertaining enough.
