Review: Awkwafina is great but can't save muddled Jackpot!'
Briefly

Jackpot! offers a comedic twist on dystopia, blending the thrills of survival with humor, and is led by Awkwafina and John Cena in a satirical narrative.
In a near-future California, the lottery winner must survive until sundown, with everyone else empowered to kill them for a chance at the prize money.
The film critiques economic inequality through gags while showcasing an absurd world where a lottery ticket becomes a death sentence.
Despite high hopes, Jackpot! proves to be more disposable than thrilling, outfitted with cartoonish mayhem rather than deeper commentary on its dystopian premise.
