Our take
Jackpot! is a loud action comedy: a winning ticket means anyone can kill you before sundown. Expect constant f-word language, gun gags, tequila and cocaine jokes, and sex jokes. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
In the near future, a 'Grand Lottery' has been established - the catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot. When Katie Kim mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket, she reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy who must get her to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize.

Talk after watching
- A prize that makes you prey. What does the film think money is worth?
- Killing is legal until sundown. Does the joke still land, or does it just look cheap?
- The bodyguard is in it for a cut. What would loyalty look like here?
