The Box crossed with
The Purge, but a comedy? A premise that delivers non-stop action comedy pratfalls. There's a new lottery in dystopian-future California. When the winner is chosen, it's open season on their head. First person to kill them (no guns) keeps the jackpot. To keep the mob on its toes, the government continually broadcasts the winner's location. Seems like almost is eager to murder a stranger for $3 billion. Awkwafina is hilariously ill-equipped to survive until sundown. John Cena, professional ass-kicker, signs on to protect her, for a 10% cut.
I think this is my first John Cena movie; I am not sure if he's actually funny, or he just takes direction well?
Machine Gun Kelly must have a sense of humor, because his self-parodying role (more than a cameo, even) is hilarious and perfect.
Ayden Mayeri is my new favorite bit player. She's a sociopathic AirBnB host in this, and I didn't even recognize her from her police detective Grizz in
Confess, Fletch a few months ago!
