Jackpot brings together the comedic talents of Awkwafina and John Cena in a story that’s both hilarious and heart-pounding. The film takes place in a near-future California where the “Grand Lottery” offers a life-changing multi-billion dollar prize. But there’s a dark catch: anyone with a lossng ticket can legally claim the jackpot by killing the winner before sundown.
Jackpot: John Cena turns Awkwafina’s protector in new action-comedy about a lottery winner, watch trailer
Awkwafina portrays Katie Kim, a newcomer to Los Angeles who stumbles upon the winning lottery ticket by sheer accident. Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Katie becomes a target for a hoard of ruthless jackpot hunters. Enter Noel Cassidy, played by John Cena, an amateur lottery protection agent with a heart of gold (and a need for a hefty commission). Noel offers Katie a precarious solution: he’ll protect her until sundown in exchange for a cut of her prize.
This unlikely duo faces a series of hilarious challenges as they attempt to stay alive. Katie, with her street smarts and quick wit, clashes with Noel’s overly cautious approach. But their differences become their strength as they learn to rely on each other in the face of danger.
Adding another layer to the comedic mayhem is Louis Lewis, played by Simu Liu. Louis is Noel’s slick rival in the lottery protection business, and he’ll stop at nothing to claim Katie’s massive commission for himself. The rivalry between Noel and Louis promises some laugh-out-loud moments as they vie for Katie’s trust and try to outsmart each other.
At the helm of Jackpot is director Paul Feig, a comedic powerhouse known for his action-packed comedies like Bridesmaids, Spy, and The Heat. Feig has a knack for creating hilarious chemistry between his leads, and with Awkwafina and John Cena, he seems to have struck gold once again.
While Jackpot promises non-stop laughs, it also explores themes of trust, teamwork, and the lengths people will go to achieve their dreams. Katie’s journey from accidental winner to reluctant hero highlights the importance of resourcefulness and quick thinking. Noel’s dedication to his job, despite its questionable nature, reveals a loyalty and protectiveness that resonates with the audience.
Beyond the leading trio, Jackpot boasts a talented supporting cast. Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Sam Asghari, Murray Hill, and Simu Liu bring their comedic timing and acting chops to flesh out the film’s vibrant world.
With a script by Rob Yescombe and a production team led by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Paul Feig, Laura Fischer, John Cena, Michelle Morrissey, Rob Yescombe, and Zack Roth, Jackpot promises to be a well-crafted and hilarious experience.
