Jackpot! - An OK Enough Action Comedy Film with a Unique Premise

I found out about this action comedy movie a while ago and was interested due to its premise. So when it was finally released on Prime Video yesterday, I immediately watch it once I got the chance. And how was the movie then? Let's find out more, shall we?

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 2030 where in California, there was a new kind of lottery with huge reward. The regulation of the lottery stated that any one who had the losing ticket could kill the winner and ultimately claim the winning money as long as it was done before sundown. Katie Kim (Awkwafina - Kung Fu Panda 4, Raya and the Last Dragon etc) who just came to Los Angeles unexpectedly won the lottery and became the target of so many people. 

Pilot - A Pretty Entertaining Comedy Film With Some Nice Performance of Jo Jung-suk

When this movie was promoted through various cinema social media, my wife was very excited since it starred her favorite South Korean star Jo Jung-suk. As there were so many new interesting films released last week, we had to juggle our schedule to ensure we were able to see most of them. And finally we got the chance to do so on Sunday in a double movie marathon weekend. OK, let's just get to it then.

Brief Story Line (spoiler warning)

Han Jung-woo (Jo Jung-suk - Exit, Hospital Playlist TV series etc) was a famous commercial airline pilot and was enjoying his popularity. Unfortunately due to some incident, he lost his job and had to start looking for a new one. Since he was blacklisted from major airlines and unable to be accepted anywhere, Jung-woo finally decided to do the unthinkable, that was to apply as a female pilot.

It was another movie marathon day for us as we were planning to see another film after this in what had been a very busy weekend for us. Without further ado, here's a little bit more on the movie.
