00:00Hello everyone, Paul Branson Reviews and much more.
00:06I do foods and a whole bunch of other things, tours, events, but today I'm talking about
00:11a movie on Prime.
00:12When I was searching Prime to look for something, I was looking more for an action comedy.
00:19I saw this poster, Jackpot, and I thought, as soon as I looked at the poster, I thought
00:23it was a romance, you know, a romance movie, a romance comedy.
00:28I wasn't in the mood for that, but this was a brand new movie that literally just came
00:34out, and I was like, Jackpot, hmm, what an interesting name.
00:38So I looked it up, and I didn't recognize the woman in the poster, but I recognized
00:43the man.
00:44He's a wrestler, a WWF wrestler, and I was like, hmm, or WWE, as they say.
00:53I'm not sure.
00:54I don't really watch wrestling as much as I used to.
00:57I used to watch it a lot in the 80's, so I'm not caught up in new wrestlers, but he's
01:02a wrestler, and I think he wants to retire from wrestling in 2025.
01:08That's what I kind of read about him, and he's a good actor.
01:12I've seen him in a few other movies that I have somewhat enjoyed, and I mean somewhat.
01:17I liked him, but I might not have liked the story, and I think I've done a few reviews
01:22with him in certain movies, but he was really good in this, and it's an action comedy.
01:30Jackpot, an action comedy.
01:32Didn't watch the trailer, but I did not recognize the woman, but I watched the movie.
01:37I laughed.
01:38I had a good time, filled with action, lots of fun, very entertaining, and some interesting
01:44cameo people showed up in the movie as well.
01:47It looks like they spent good money on this movie.
01:52It was a really well done, fun movie, and it was almost two hours long.
01:59Just the comedy was funny and entertaining.
02:03It's one of those silly movies, you know, silly movies that's not meant to take seriously.
02:08If you take this movie seriously, you're not really going to enjoy it, and the person who
02:13directed it was Paul Figg, and he's a hit and miss with me.
02:17Sometimes I really like his movies, and sometimes I don't.
02:21But I think this is the best movie he's directed.
02:24Now I didn't look up to Ryder, but Ryder did an amazing job, and the center photography
02:30and the action sequences were fantastic, and there was a lot.
02:36It's filled with action, as I said.
02:38Now I'm going to get into the woman.
02:40Now this woman was a rapper on YouTube, and one of her songs became very popular in 2012,
02:47so she did an album in 2014.
02:50Then she did an MTV comedy series that became very popular, and I believe she won a Golden
02:57Globe Award for that.
02:59After that she started doing movies.
03:01I don't think I've seen her in anything before.
03:04She's very funny, and she's very good.
03:08Her real name I can't quite remember, but people call her Aquafina.
03:13Hope that's not an actual swear word, because I could be saying it wrong.
03:18Aquafina, I think her real name is Norna something, but I'll put the names at the back
03:28because I have a pronunciation problem.
03:31But she's fantastic, and those two, they really work well together.
03:36Now what this movie was about, they have a draw every year.
03:41I believe it's in California.
03:42I just watched the movie, I should know.
03:45In California they have this draw, and if you win, you have to now survive, and I mean
03:52survive, anyone has the right to kill you and take your prize.
03:59So if you win, you have to survive till nightfall.
04:06If you survive till nightfall, you have won the money.
04:10Now if anyone kills you, they can take the prize.
04:14Now the man who is in this, who's the wrestler, he is a protector.
04:23He can protect you, and he gets some of the winnings, of course, for that.
04:28Other than that, I don't want to say too much.
04:30It kind of speaks for itself, but it does get in character development in a funny way
04:35at the beginning of the film, and then it gets a little entertaining, and well right
04:41in the beginning it gets entertaining, don't get me wrong, and then hook you right away
04:44in this.
04:45But it only has a 5.8 out of 10 on IMBD, and I was like, really?
04:50I think that will go up, and then a 39% in Rotten Tomatoes, and I'm like, really?
04:56This is one of those silly fun movies that's not meant to be taken seriously.
05:00I know I've already said that, but if you want to take this movie seriously, you're
05:04not going to have fun with it.
05:06This is just a popcorn fun movie, funny and entertaining, that's it, that there's nothing
05:13to it, and you will really enjoy it.
05:15It's silly, silly fun, and I think they could make more movies like this with other winners
05:21who win.
05:22So if you enter this draw, and you win, you better run, and run for your life.
05:29Fun movie, really well put together, I give this movie a 7 out of 10.
05:34I really enjoyed it, maybe even higher.
05:37This movie is just not meant to be taken seriously.
05:40It's a fun, entertaining movie, check it out, it's a prime original, you'll have fun with
05:46it.
05:47Sit down, laugh like I did, choke on your popcorn that had almost happened to me.
05:53Enjoy it everyone, very entertaining, and some very interesting cameos in this.
05:58Bye for now, have an incredible day, and check it out.
06:017 out of 10 for me, possibly higher, I really did enjoy this movie.
06:06Bye for now, and like I said, like I already said, have an incredible day, and check out
06:10my other reviews, and recommendations, and much more.
06:14Thanks for watching.
