Windfall

POSITIVES

  • Unusual odd suspense thriller about a home invasion robbery that doesn't go the way it usually goes. Seeing where it does go, and the scenarios that happen is part of the fun of watching this. 

  • Jason Segel, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Collins make a great trio. 

  • Dialogue is probably what will stand out the most in this movie. Considering the premise, there are some genuinely interesting things said, but there are also a lot of certain irreverent ridiculousness at some of the other topics discussed. 

  • With all the talking in this film, certain thematic commentaries do come up. Food for thought stuff. 

  • The act of negotiating in what should be a tense and dangerous situation. This movie gleefully breaks all those logical rules. It can be pretty amusing. Kids, don't follow their example. 

NEGATIVES 

  • There will be people who will proclaim "OMG this is so stupid! It's so unbelievable!!!" 

  • Some people may not like some of the topics discussed or certain plot turns and revelations. 

  • Depending on how you feel about it, the third act may not work for you at all. 

  • For a 90 mins movie. It actually felt longer than it probably needed to be. 

  • It's a movie set in one location, so there is only so much it can do in a cinematic visual sense.
