Windfall

​"Windfall".

Watched English movie "Windfall". 

This movie is directed by Macdowell. Written by Jason Segel, Charlie Macdowell, Justin Lader. Produced by Lilly Collins and others. It stars Lilly Collins, Jason Segel, Jesse Plemons, Omar Leywa. Music by Danny Bensi, Saunder Jurriaans. Cinematography by Isiah Donté Lee. Film runs for  1 hour and 31 minute and was released in 2022. I watched it on 20th Mar 2022 on Netflix .

A man breaks into a tech billionaire's empty vacation home, but things go sideways when the arrogant mogul and his wife arrive for a last-minute getaway.

The idea is interesting, but the story is slow, very slow, very very slow. It literally crawls. This idea has unlimited possibilities. But audience don’t know where this story is going almost till the very end. Director manages to give a surprise twist at the end. But I had guessed this end. 

There are basic flaws like Continuity issues. Example: The thief has one hand behind his back going from one room to other but when he reaches there he has another hand behind him. There are others too. 

Jason Segel plays the thief, although he doesn’t look one. He has also co-authored the story. Lily plays the wife, looks good, acts well and is also the coproducer. Jesse plays the arrogant billionaire and looks like one. The movie has only 4 characters. 

Positives: The end.

Negatives: Everything before that. 

Insipid movie. Give it a miss.
